The layout and design principles were carried through to the Pilatus P-2, which achieved success as a trainer with the Swiss Air Force.

The fuselage structure of the P-1 would have consisted of welded steel tube, with removable front aluminium alloy panels and fabric covering aft of the cockpit.

The wings would have been of wood built up around a one-piece wooden spar with plywood skinning.
