Farman F.290

The Farman F.290 was a five-seat transport aircraft built in France in the early 1930s. It was a high-wing strut-braced monoplane with a fixed tailskid undercarriage and an all-wood fuselage and wings, with the variants F.291 and F.291/1 listed beside the original. The specification gives a crew of one and four passengers, a length of 10.36 metres, a wingspan of 14.38 metres, a height of 2.52 metres, a wing area of 40.2 square metres, an empty weight of 980 kilograms and a gross weight of 1,688 kilograms. A single Gnome and Rhone 5Kc five-cylinder air-cooled radial piston engine of 180 kilowatts gave a maximum speed of 193 kilometres per hour, a range of 800 kilometres and a service ceiling of 5,800 metres.
