| A braced high-wing monoplane, the Potez 36 had wide-track divided landing gear, and its pilot and passenger were seated side-by-side in a fully enclosed cabin. Potez-designed leading-edge slats produced a high safety factor, much appreciated by those with sufficient finance to own the Potez 36 for weekend and holiday flying. Its design also included folding wings, making it suitable for garage storage and easy to tow behind a car.
Potez 36s proved a great success and some 300 were built for private owners and clubs between 1929 and 1933. Some were used by I'Armee de I'Air as scout/ liaison aircraft during the 1930s.

| Robert Straub, e-mail, 24.01.2023 00:29 I saw a beautiful Potez 36 at a suburban Paris airport in July, 1953. It
was a cloudy day and a few French lightplanes including the Potez 36 were being prepared for flight. The Potez was first to take off and made several circuits above the grassy field - a beautiful sight.
I forget the registration but it may have been F-AMEI. The airplane was radial powered, blue and silver with a black pin stripe on the fuselage and black registration letters. reply | | Robert Straub, e-mail, 24.01.2023 00:28 I saw a beautiful Potez 36 at a suburban Paris airport in July, 1953. It

Abrazo grande! reply | | guillermo, e-mail, 14.01.2009 12:07 Buen dia: soy Guillermo de GalveZ, Santa Fe Argentina y practico el aeromodelismo a escala. Me intereso este avion por ser un modelo llamativo, hermoso y se me hace que es de vuelo muy lento. Me interesaria conseguir los planos y fotos del mismo para una buena maqueta. reply |
