The Levasseur PL.6 was a two-seat fighter aircraft built in France in 1926 in order to meet an Aéronautique Militaire requirement for a new aircraft of this type,[1] designated C2 (for Chasseur - "fighter", 2 seat). Constructed along the same lines as Levasseur's naval aircraft of the same era, it was a conventional, single-bay biplane with seating for the pilot and tail gunner in separate, open cockpits. Flight testing of the prototype commenced in 1926, and it was exhibited at the Salon de l'Aéronautique at the end of the year.[2]
The PL.6 was evaluated against the Avimeta AVM-88, the ANF Les Mureaux 3 and 4, Blériot-SPAD S.60, Villiers Vil.24 and Wibault Wib.12. However, before any one of these was selected for production, the requirement was cancelled. No further PL.6s were built.[1]
