Excerpt: Farman A.2 The Farman A.2 was a 1920s French high-wing monoplane designed as a military reconnaissance and observation aircraft. Only one was built. Development The open-cockpit tandem two-seat monoplane was displayed at the 1924 Paris Salon de l'Aeronautique. It was designed to minimise drag and the wide-chord wing was faired into the top of the fuselage and the aircraft was carefully shaped. The aircraft did not meet performance expectations and was scrapped.

The B.2 was tested with different combinations of engines and radiators and it required modification to the fin and rudder for problems with directional stability. Despite all these modifications the aircraft did not meet the required performance and was not ordered into production. Specifications Data from General characterist...
