Farman F.211

The Farman F.211 was a French four-seat day or night bomber designed and built by Farman Aviation Works for the French Air Force, and it did not enter production. It was a high-wing braced monoplane with its engines on stub wings, each stub wing carrying a pair of Gnome-Rhone Titan 7Kcrs radial engines of 220 kilowatts, one tractor and one pusher. It came out of the early 1930s search for transitional bombers that were quick to build, drawing its high wing from the airliner F.300 and using four engines for safety and high-altitude performance. The fuselage resembled that of the Farman F.63 but was larger. Its maximum speed was 220 kilometres per hour, its range 1,000 kilometres and its bomb load up to 1,050 kilograms, and the improved F.212 offered more power and a larger bomb load.
