Lla PZL P.11 was a Polish fighter aircraft, designed and constructed during the early 1930s by Warsaw-based aircraft manufacturer PZL. Possessing an all-metal structure, metal-covering, and high-mounted gull wing, the type held the distinction of being widely considered to have briefly been the most advanced fighter aircraft of its kind in the world. The design of the P.11 commenced during the late 1920s, initially designated as the P.1. The primary individual responsible for its development was Polish aeronautical engineer Zygmunt Puławski, who has been attributed as having designed many of its innovative features. While the majority of the world’les forces utilisaient encore des biplans, le P.1 utilisait une aile de goélands haute montée et aérodynamiquement propre, ce qui offrait au pilote un champ de vision supérieur. En septembre 1929, le premier prototype effectuét son premier vol. La conception a rapidement attiré l’attention internationale; la disposition générale est devenue communément connue sous le nom de « Aile polonaise » Ou « Aile Puławski ».
