Peitz 101

The Peitz 101, aka Peitz Avionette, was a French, amateur built, all-metal light aircraft, first flown during the winter of 1931-2.

Design

The Peitz 101 was entirely the work of M. Peitz of Rosny-sous-Bois. Without external funding or assistance, he began its construction in 1929. Structurally, it was an all metal aircraft and was mostly metal skinned, with the exception of its wings and rear fuselage which were fabric covered.

The Peitz 101 had a three part parasol wing of rectangular plan out to slightly blunted tips and with an aspect ratio of 8. There was no dihedral. Ailerons filled about half the trailing edges. The wings were built around two parallel duralumin spars and had a short span central section braced to the upper fuselage longerons with a pair of parallel, vertical cabane struts to the spars, reinforced by rearward sloping struts from the upper longeron to the forward spar. The outer wings were braced with parallel struts from the lower fuselage to the spars at about mid-span.
