[edit] Design and development

Following on from the success of the Bü 133 Jungmeister the company designed a trainer aircraft, the Bü 180 (later named Student) which was a low-wing cantilever monoplane. The wing was of wooden construction with a mixture of plywood and fabric covering. The fuselage was a steel tube frame forward and a wooden monocoque aft with a fabric covering. The Student had a fixed tailskid landing gear and was powered by a Walter Mikron II inline engine. The prototype first flew in 1937 and a small number were built for civilian use.
