Farman F.370

The Farman F.370 was a French single-seat racing monoplane designed and built by Farman Aviation Works for air racing. It was a low-wing monoplane that first flew on 22 April 1933, powered by a Farman 8-cylinder vee piston engine of 300 kilowatts, and it had streamlined features including a shallow fin faired into the open cockpit headrest and a fixed main monowheel undercarriage faired into the engine and oil radiators. Its maximum speed is estimated at 330 kilometres per hour. It was entered in the 1933 Coupe Deutsch de la Meurthe air race, in which it averaged over 300 kilometres per hour before the engine overheated on the fifth circuit and it withdrew. It was one of a pair of Farman racers of the year, with the smaller F.380.
