Farman F.90

The Farman F.90 was a single-engined biplane transport carrying six passengers, built and developed in France in the early 1920s. It appeared in 1921 as a single-bay biplane with unstaggered rectangular wings, the upper plane held high above the fuselage on four vertical centre-section struts, and a deep flat-sided fuselage with a passenger compartment lit by four small windows on each side. The pilot sat in an open cockpit behind the cabin. It was first powered by a 260 horsepower Salmson nine-cylinder radial and later re-engined with 380 horsepower Bristol Jupiters as the F.91. The one F.90 built won the 1922 Grand Prix de Paris and took the Zenith Cup fuel consumption competition in both 1923 and 1926, but it brought no orders and was not put into production.
