Farman HF.10

The Farman HF.10 was a French reconnaissance aircraft built shortly before the First World War, developed in 1911 for the military aircraft competition held at Reims. It had a crew of three and was a large pusher aircraft with a length of 10.2 metres, a wingspan of 16.0 metres, a wing area of 72 square metres and a maximum take-off weight of 550 kilograms. The HF.10 had a Gnome rotary engine, listed in the specification as a Gnome Omega seven-cylinder air-cooled rotary of 37 kilowatts driving a two-bladed wooden pusher propeller, and the later HF.10bis had a slightly more powerful Gnome Gamma engine of 70 horsepower. Its maximum speed was 80 kilometres per hour and its range 315 kilometres.
