| Essentially a single-seat fighter version of the Potez 25
two-seat army co-operation aircraft, the Potez 26 was,
in fact, the first to fly, commencing its test programme
in August 1924. A single-bay, staggered sesquiplane
with a narrow-chord lower wing and inclined N-type
interplane struts, the Potez 26 was of wooden construction
with fabric covering, and was designed to
accept either Lorraine-Dietrich or Hispano-Suiza
engines. The sole prototype was powered by a 450hp
Hispano-Suiza 12Ha water-cooled 12-cylinder engine
and its armament consisted of two synchronised
7.7mm machine guns. No series production was undertaken.
