National origin France

Designer Jean Pottier





The Pottier P.80 is a single-seat, single-engine sport aircraft developed in France in the late 1970s and marketed for homebuilding.[1] Ultimately based on the P.70 design, it features a redesigned wing and cockpit canopy.[2] The P.80 is a low-wing cantilever monoplane of conventional design with an enclosed cockpit.[2] Construction throughout is of metal.[2] The prototype was constructed and unveiled at the 1977 Paris Air Show.[2]

Just as the P.70 had led to the two-seat P.170, Pottier also created a two-seat version of the P.80, but with its seats side-by-side instead of in tandem as those of the P.170 had been.[2] This was designated the P.180, and by 1987, at least 13 examples had flown.[2]
