Farman M.F.7
The Farman MF7 was a successful French military aircraft from the period before the First World War.
Maurice Farman had with his 1911 -designed biplane created a first commercially successful pattern. At its base the MF7, also referred to as Type 1913 was born.
The MF7 was a biplane with wings of unequal span, which were braced with struts and wires to a central fuselage nacelle having two open seats down. Directly behind the seats, the engine was with a pusher propeller, which turned between the two fuselage struts. The suspension consisted of double pairs of wheels on a skid frame, the horizontal tail lying far ahead of the fuselage pod was attached to it at the same time. This boom brought the machine on the unofficial nickname Longhorn. Initially, a 70 -hp Renault engine was used, later also stronger patterns were used. The MF7 was also manufactured in the UK under license. In total, over 350 M.F.7 emerged. The M.F.7 in 1914 further developed to M.F.11.
