Sablatnig N.I
Role Bomber aircraft
National origin Germany
Manufacturer Sablatnig
First flight 1918
Developed from Sablatnig C.I

The Sablatnig N.I was a bomber aircraft developed in Germany during the First World War,[1] a development of the Sablatnig C.I adapted for night operations.

Development

The N.1 was a two-bay biplane of conventional design, with staggered wings, two open cockpits in tandem, and fixed, tailskid undercarriage.[2] It is unclear if any more than a single prototype were built during the war,[1][2] but after the armistice, Sablatnig developed a civil variant.[1]

Dubbed the P.I, this added a cabin for four passengers and was one of the few aircraft approved by ILÜK (Interallierte Luftfahrt-Überwachungs-Kommission, Inter-allied Aviation Control Commission) for production in Germany.[3] Danish Air Express and Lloyd Luftverkehr Sablatnig both operated the type.[1]
