Histor
y of the Pitts Special
It is hard to believe that it was as long ago as 1943 when Curtis Pitts built the first of a series of aircraft
that would dominate competition aerobatics throughout the 70s and 80s. Christened the ‘Pitts Special’,
it went on to be the most successful and easily recognised American-built aerobatic design. It was
certainly evolutionary and because of its small size, light weight, short wingspan and extreme agility, it
r
emained unbeaten until it was finally toppled by the Russian Y
ak-50.
While there have been many versions of the Pitts Special - in both single and two seat versions - it is
widely accepted in the aviation community that the Pitts Special is THE standard by which all other
aerobatic planes are judged - and few have ever matched. The design has been continuously refined,
however
, the cur
r
ent Pitts Specials still r
emain close to the original in concept and in actual design... a
testament to the genius of Pitts’ original concept.
