Farman MF.9

The Maurice Farman MF.9 was a French bomber and reconnaissance biplane developed by Maurice Farman before the First World War. Like the Maurice Farman MF.6, it used floats for take-off and landing on water, which makes it a floatplane. It had a crew of two, and the specification gives a length of 9.45 metres, a wingspan of 17.0 metres, a height of 3.9 metres, an empty weight of 755 kilograms and a gross weight of 1,030 kilograms. A single Renault 8B air-cooled V-8 piston engine of 52 kilowatts powered it to a maximum speed of 90 kilometres per hour. The source for the type is brief and gives its role, its configuration and this specification.
