Farman HF.6

The Farman HF.6 was a French two-seat reconnaissance aircraft built shortly before the First World War, with a crew of a pilot and an observer. The type is documented only by its specification, which gives a length of 9.0 metres, a wingspan of 11.0 metres, a wing area of 21 square metres, an empty weight of 350 kilograms and a maximum take-off weight of 550 kilograms. It was powered by a single Gnome seven-cylinder air-cooled rotary piston engine of 37 kilowatts driving a two-bladed fixed-pitch wooden pusher propeller, and its maximum speed was 90 kilometres per hour with a range of 315 kilometres. The HF.6 was later developed into the more advanced Farman HF.14, which had a more streamlined horizontal stabilizer and an oval rudder.
