The Pottier P.100 and its derivatives were a family of single-engine aircraft developed in France in the 1970s and 80s.[1] They were high-wing cantilever monoplanes of conventional design with enclosed cabins and fixed tricycle undercarriage.[2] The P.100 had two seats, arranged side-by-side, while the P.110 had its fuselage stretched by 50 cm (20 in) to include a third seat and a greater wingspan.[2] The P.105 was a hybrid of the two designs, featuring the shorter, two-seat fuselage of the P.100 and the longer-span wings of the P.110.[2]
