Teh ΕΚΚ Γ-35 was a 1930s Swiss two-seat reconnaissance biplane aircraft built by the Swiss Federal Construction Works (Eidgenoessische Konstruktionswerkstaette, K+W), Thun. Two aircraft were designed by the Eidgenössische Konstruktions Werkstätte to replace the Fokker C.Ve which the Swiss Air Force were using. The two projects were the EKW C-35 biplane and the EKW C-36 monoplane. After evaluation the air force ordered 40 C-35s in 1936. Additional aircraft were built from spares. The C-35 was a two-seat biplane with fixed tailwheel landing gear and conventional tail unit. The aircraft was powered by a Hispano-Suiza HS-77 V-12 piston engine (licence-built Hispano-Suiza 12Ycrs).

General Characteristics

The EKW C-35 was a Swiss two-seat reconnaissance and ground-attack biplane built by the Eidgenössische Konstruktionswerkstätte (EKW) in the mid-1930s to replace the aging Fokker C.V-E. Although a biplane design was already becoming obsolete when it was ordered, it formed the backbone of the Swiss Air Force’s reconnaissance and light bombing capability during the crucial early years of World War II, defending Swiss neutrality before being replaced by the monoplane C-36 series.
