History


The Potez 23 was built by Potez in response to the C1 fighter program issued by the STAé in 1923. The C1 fighter specification called for a speed of 240 kilometres per hour (150 mph), an armament of two forward firing machine guns, and both armored tanks and drop tanks.[citation needed]

The structure was made of wooden spars,[1] the fuselage was covered with screwed and glued plywood, and the wings, empennage, and tail were covered in canvas. Wing tethering[clarification needed] is simplified and builds on the experience gained on the Potez XV.[citation needed]

The aircraft did achieve the required performance and was not accepted for production. However, it was developed into the Potez 25.[citation needed]
