Farman MF.6

The Maurice Farman MF.6 Shorthorn was a French tourism biplane developed by Maurice Farman before the First World War, with a crew of two. A number of MF.6 biplanes were imported into Japan on the eve of the war. The specification gives a length of 12.0 metres, a wingspan of 15.5 metres, a height of 3.35 metres, an empty weight of 675 kilograms and a gross weight of 850 kilograms. It was powered by a single Renault 8B air-cooled V-8 piston engine of 70 kilowatts, and its maximum speed was 95 kilometres per hour with a service ceiling of 4,000 metres. Like the later MF.11, the type is known as the Shorthorn.
