TheAmiot 110, also known as theAmiot-SECM 110, was a French prototype interceptor designed and built in 1929.
TheAmiot 110 was designed as a contender in the so-called "Jockey" lightweight interceptor contest, competing against nine other types. It was a bracedparasol wingmonoplane with an all-metal structure and metal skinned fuselage. The first prototype had afabric covered wing, replaced by metal skinning in the second. It had fixed, conventionallanding gear; the stub wing behind the gear was part of a jettisonable fuel tank.[1][2]
It first flew in June 1928 and looked a promising candidate to win the "Jockey" contest. However it crashed on 1 July 1929, killing the pilot[1] due to several loose rivets and integrity flaws. No further production went ahead after a second prototype was deemed inferior to theNieuport-Delage NiD 62.[citation needed]
