The Sablatnig N.I was a bomber aircraft developed in Germany during the First World War,[2] a development of the Sablatnig C.I adapted for night operations.
The N.1 was a two-bay biplane of conventional design, with staggered wings, two open cockpits in tandem, and fixed, tailskid undercarriage.[3] At least eight aircraft were built during the war and converted to P.I standard after the Armistice.[2][3]
After the Armistice Sablatnig developed the P.I. Adding a cabin for four passengers, the P.I was one of the few aircraft approved by the ILÜK (Interallierte Luftfahrt-Überwachungs-Kommission, Inter-allied Aviation Control Commission) for production in Germany.[4]
