The Farman F.250 was a small four-passenger single-engined low-wing airliner built in France in 1931, of which only one was made. Nicknamed Gros 230, it looked like the little F.230 trainer but had a span about a third greater and weighed about two and a half times as much, and it was designed to carry four passengers over long distances. It was built of wood in both structure and skin, with a flat-sided fuselage whose passenger cabin sat over the wing and had three square windows, and the pilot's open cockpit sat further aft in a streamlined fairing. A 285 kilowatt Gnome-Rhone 9Aa radial, a licence-built Bristol Jupiter, gave a top speed of 245 kilometres per hour. It was homologated in January 1932 and bought by an airline, but flew only 31 hours and no commercial flights because of a general lack of stability.
