Design and development
The C.I was a two-bay single-seat fighter biplane powered by a 300 hp (224 kW) Hispano-Suiza 8Fb inline piston engine.[1] Without any production facilities the aircraft was built by Levasseur and five aircraft were built and tested during 1918.[1] Following the end of the first world war the aircraft was not developed further and did not enter production.[1]
