ФАРМАН F.15/16/20 / FARMAN F.15/16/20

   Двухместный полутораплан с толкающим винтом. Разработан известным французским авиаконструктором Анри Фарманом в 1912 году. Конструкция смешанная. Продольные балки хвостовой фермы, контуры оперения и элементы шасси из стальных труб, крылья деревянные с полотняной обшивкой, гондола выклеена из фанеры.
   Уже в 1913-м "Фарман" F.15 принят на вооружение французских, английских, российских и бельгийских ВВС в качестве связной и разведывательной машины. Позднее самолет появился в Италии, Румынии и некоторых других странах. Созданные вскоре модификации F.16, F.20 и F.21 отличались площадью крыльев и рядом незначительных технологических усовершенствований. Все три типа выпускались серийно на заводе фирмы Фарман в Билланкурте, и на российских заводах Щетинина, Лебедева и "Дукс". Всего в России построено около 300 F.16 и до 200 F.20 и F.21. В 1914 году во Франции и в России запущен в серию "Фарман" F.22 с улучшенной конструкцией тележек шасси (без противокапотажных лыж) и более широким применением металла.
   К началу первой мировой войны "Фарманы" различных модификаций были весьма популярны во всех странах Антанты. Объясняется это во-первых исключительной легкостью и простотой пилотирования, присущей всем изделиям Анри Фармана, а во-вторых - активной рекламой и авторитетом фирмы. На западном фронте машинами Анри Фармана были полностью оснащены 5 французских, 6 английских и 2 бельгийских эскадрильи. Но при этом слабая энерговооруженность F.20, F.21 и F.22 сильно ограничивала боевое применение этих машин. Установка пулемета и принятие на борт даже небольшой бомбовой нагрузки резко ухудшали и без того невысокие летные характеристики "Фарманов", оснащенных маломощными ротативными двигателями. В результате к лету 1915 на западе, а в начале 1916 и в России их перевели в разряд учебных. Однако в период гражданской войны хроническая нехватка самолетов как у красных, так и у белых заставила вновь использовать эти безнадежно устаревшие машины по их прямому назначению -в качестве разведчиков и самолетов связи. Последние F.22, служившие в Севастопольской летной школе, списали в 1923 году.
  
  
ДВИГАТЕЛЬ
  
   На "Фарманы" устанавливали различные ротативные моторы: "Гном" (70, 80 или 100 л.с.), "Рон" (80 л.с.), "Клерже" (80 л.с.), иногда "Гном-Моносупап" в 100 л.с.
  
  
ВООРУЖЕНИЕ
  
   Не предусмотрено. Иногда в частях ставили подвижный "Кольт", "Виккерс" или "Льюис" на шкворне у летнаба.

Фарман F.15 1913г.
   Трехстоечный полутораплан ферменной конструкции, дальнейшее развитие машин предыдущего типа. Двухместная гондола имела деревянную конструкцию. Пояса ферм изготавливались из стальных труб. Стойки ферм и коробки крыльев пустотелые, деревянные. Растяжки - стальная проволока. Крыло двухлонжеронное. Лонжероны имели конструкцию из сосновых брусков, нервюры - из фанеры и бруса. Обтягивалось крыло полотном. Элероны были только на верхнем крыле. Консольные части крыла поддерживались шпренгелями. В хвостовой части на соединяющую ферму навешивался руль поворота. Стабилизатор и рули высоты устанавливались по верхнему поясу ферм. Шасси "фармановского" типа с двумя спарками колес. Двигатель "Гном-Моносупап" мощностью 100л. с., 7-цилиндровый, воздушного охлаждения, ротативный, устанавливался в хвостовой части гондолы по задней кромке нижнего крыла, а перед ним устанавливались топливный и масляный баки. В 1913 году по поручению военного ведомства России поручик Поплавко В. Р. проводил опыты по установке пулемета "Максим". Подобные работы проводились и французами. Делались попытки установки брони для защиты экипажа и двигателя, однако из-за значительной массы и недостаточной мощности двигателя бронирование машин распространения не получило. Вообще, самолет F.15 стал переходным к более поздним машинам, выпускавшимся массовыми сериями и имевшим несколько меньшие размеры и массу.
  
Фарман F.16 1913г.
   По требованию военных в середине 1913 года братья Фарман создали на базе самолета F.15 новый разведчик и легкий бомбардировщик F.16 -- ферменный, двухстоечный полутораплан, во многом повторявший своего предшественника, но несколько меньших размеров. Двигатели устанавливались различные, 7-цилиндровые "Гном" (80 или 100 л. с., иногда 70л. с.), 9-цилиндровые "Клерже". Машина отличалась также небольшой стреловидностью по передней кромке цоколей крыла и более короткими стойками шасси. Машина строилась по лицензии в Германии (фирма "Пфальц"), России (заводы Щетинина и "Дукс"), Италии. Применялась до 1915 года как разведчик, но уже с лета 1915 года - только как учебный самолет, в этом случае ставилось двойное управление. Существовал поплавковый вариант машины, летные качества которого были хуже.
  
Фарман F.20 1913г.
   Практически это был тот же F.16, только конструкция была местами облегчена, местами усилена в зависимости от условий эксплуатации. Незначительно изменена конструкция шпренгелей верхнего крыла. Усилены стойки шасси. Строился крупными сериями и использовался в основном как учебный самолет с лета 1915 года. На некоторых машинах в полевых условиях устанавливались 7,62-мм пулеметы "Максим", "Гочкис", иногда "Кольт". Самолет мог нести несколько 5- и 10-кг бомб. В России использовался до 1921 года.

"Фарман-XV" ( "Фарман-15" ). Схема этого самолета, как и следовавших за ним Ф-16, Ф-20 и Ф-22, - полутораплан с форменным хвостом и выдвинутой вперед двухместной гондолой. Коробка крыльев - трехстоечная (не считая средних стоек у кабины). Лонжероны крыльев - сосновые бруски, нервюры - из фанерных стенок с сосновыми или липовыми полками. Стойки коробки крыльев и ферм - деревянные пустотелые, пояса ферм - стальные трубы. Общая культура конструкции гораздо выше, чем у Ф-VII. Консоли верхнего крыла поддерживались шпренгелями. Двигатель - "Гном-Моносупап" в 100 л. с. (фактически 82 л. с.), на нескольких Ф-15 был установлен "Гном" в 80 л. с. Всего на заводе "Дукс" было построено 18 экземпляров самолета Ф-15; в них размах и площадь крыльев были немного больше, чем во французском образце.

   Военное назначение самолета - разведчик (по требованиям конца 1912 г.). Его предполагали снабдить броней, но масса ее была настолько большой, что работы пришлось остановить. В 1913 г. Поручик В. Р. Поплавко производил на нем первые в России опыты со шкворневой установкой пулемета "Максим" в носовой части кабины.

   Самолет Ф-15 не привился, распространение получили "Фарманы" несколько меньших размеров с тем же двигателем "Гном" в 80 л. с. Ф-16, Ф-20 и Ф-22 - первоначально военные, а с 1915 г. учебные.

   "Фарман-XVI" ("Фарман-16", Ф-16). Отличался от самолета Ф-15 двухстоечной полуторапланной коробкой крыльев с очень большими чуть стреловидными консолями. Шасси ниже, чем у самолета Ф-15. Двигатели ставились "Гном" в 80 л. с. и 70 л. с., "Калеп" в 80 л. с., "Клерже" в 80 л. с. и "Гном" в 100 л. с. (для предполагавшегося перелета поручика Поплавко).

   Первоначальное назначение - разведчик, предполагалась броня, вооружение не ставилось, и уже с 1915 г. самолет применялся только как учебный. Строился на всех основных русских авиазаводах, выпущено было до 300 экземпляров.

   Для этого самолета, взятого в 1914 г. в арктическую экспедицию Вилькицкого, было сделано особое лыжное шасси. Был совершен один полет летчика Александрова с механиком Тыркаловым в бухте Провидения, но потом во время зимовки самолет был превращен в аэросани.

   "Фарман-XX" ( "Фарман-20", Ф-20). От самолета Ф-16 отличался более рациональной конструкцией, кое-где облегченной, местами упрочненной по эксплуатационным соображениям. Часть самолетов имела двойное управление. Двигатели - "Гном" в 80 л. с , "Рон" в 80л. с. (с 1916-1917 гг.), иногда "Гном-Моносупап" в 100л. с. и "Гном" в 100 л. с. Строился на заводах Щетинина и Анатра, на последнем даже в 1921-1922 гг. Всего было выпущено до 200 экземпляров. В Севастопольской школе самолет прослужил до 1923 г.

   "Фарман-XVI" поплавковый. Поплавки типа С-5а крепились на тех же стойках, что и шасси, входившие в общую систему стоек и расчалок коробки крыльев. На этом самолете летал Н. А. Яцук в Петербурге в 1913 г.

Henry Farman F.20 and F.22

   The name of the Henry Farman pusher biplane appears in some of the earliest annals of British naval aviation. It is recorded that on 27 August 1914 seaplanes Nos.97 and 156 of the RNAS led the Battle Fleet to sea. The seaplanes in question were Henry Farmans and, indeed, many of the aircraft of this type supplied to the RNAS before the outbreak of war were fitted with twin floats as shown in the three-view drawing. Both landplanes and seaplanes were built in England by the Aircraft Manufacturing Company at Hendon, and all were powered by the 80 hp Gnome, with the exception of No.115, which had a 100 hp Renault.
   The first RNAS unit to go overseas, the Eastchurch squadron commanded by Wg Cdr C R Samson, flew to Ostend with nine assorted types, one of which was a Henry Farman F.20. In March 1915 this unit became No.3 Squadron, RNAS, and was sent to the Eastern Mediterranean to participate in the Dardanelles campaign with eight Henry Farmans, two B.E.2cs, two B.E.2s, two Sopwith Tabloids, a Breguet and three Maurice Farmans. Of all these types, the Henry Farmans were the least useful, as they were too slow and difficult to maintain in the field. They were used briefly as single-seaters for reconnaissance; a further six which arrived in May were promptly returned to England as being valueless for first-line duties. Re-engined with the 140 hp Canton Unne, the Henry Farman was distinctly better, and served as a bomber with the RNAS in the Aegean from July 1915 onwards. This version, the F.27, was of steel construction, and it was with this type that Wg Cdr Samson dropped a 500 lb bomb (the biggest of the war at that date) on a Turkish barracks during a flight from Imbros on 18 December 1915. The Farman F.27 is described and illustrated separately in Appendix A.
   Some of the earliest bombing attacks on submarines and Zeppelin sheds were made by Henry Farmans of the RNAS in Belgium. On the night of 6/7 June 1915, F/Sub-Lt J S Mills of No.1 Wing destroyed LZ38 in its shed at Evere with four 20 lb bombs. On 26 August 1915 Sqn Cdr A W Bigsworth of No.2 Wing attacked a U-boat six miles off Ostend and, on 28 November 1915, F/Sub-Lt Viney claimed to have blown a U-boat in half with two well-aimed 65 lb bombs, but this feat was never officially recognised.

UNITS ALLOCATED
   Eastchurch squadron, which became NO.3 Squadron, RNAS, in March 1915 and No.3 Wing, RNAS, in June !915. Also Nos.l and 2 Squadrons (later Nos.1 and 2 Wings), RNAS.

Remarks.--The whole of the above can easily be converted into hydro-avions --two long narrow floats without steps. H. Farmans are of wood and steel construction; M. Farman, wood. In all 1913 biplanes the ailerons are inter-connected. All 1913 machines designed to carry one or in some cases two mitrailleuse, and special attention is paid to facility for taking down for transport and re-assembling. The 1911-12 H. Farmans had elevators forward, were a good deal longer, and had more surface than 1913 models. Ailerons not inter-connected. The M. Farmans generally as now, except that all planes, etc., had rounded edges. On September 11th, 1912, Foury, in an M. Farman military, made world's endurance record to date, 13 hrs. 22 min., covering 631 miles (1,017 km.) All models of this type, also the "big military," are fitted with the Doutre stabiliser. Fabric: "Aviator" Ramie.

Farman H.F.20

  Four H.F.20s were built under license in 1913; it was the first type produced by the “Savoia” Aeronautical Construction Company of Turro Milanese. The H.F.20 was tested by pilot Henri Bille of the Farman firm and Michele Signorini of the Savoia factory in December 1913.
  At the beginning of 1914 all four aircraft were handed over to the military administration for the formation of the first squadron of biplanes “Savoia”-Farman known as Squadriglia Savoia. One pilot of this unit, Maurice Chevillard, made a number of publicity flights to various Italian cities in March 1914. It appears that there were no H.F.20s still in front-line service when Italy entered the war in 1915.

WHAT THERE WILL BE TO SEE AT OLYMPIA.

THE MACHINES.

The Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

   Constructors of British-built Henry and Maurice Farman biplanes, will be showing a machine of each type. Their British-built Maurice Farman biplane, equipped with the 70-h.p. Renault motor, flown so well by officers in the Royal Flying Corps, and by Verrier at Hendon, is too well known to need any description here. The Henry Farman biplane that will be shown, we are not so closely acquainted with. In its general lines it will greatly resemble the 80-h.p. H. Farman owned by the Grahame-White Aviation Co., and flown at Hendon by Louis Noel. Its chassis, however, will be different, and its body will be of a more modern type. It will be fitted with an 80-h.p. Gnome motor.

SOME MORE AEROPLANES AT OLYMPIA.

THE AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURING CO., LTD.

   In our last issue of FLIGHT we described and gave sketches of the 70-h.p. Maurice Farman biplane shown on their stand. At the time of going to press with that issue the 80-h.p. Henry Farman machine that they are also showing was not available for review, so it could not be included in the report of the Aircraft Manufacturing Co.'s stand. Since then, however, we have been able to examine the machine, and we are able to set forth its chief characteristics here below.
   The 80-h.p. Henry Farman Biplane. - Remembering the comparative crudity of construction of these machines some three years or so back, the excellence of the workmanship that the Farman firm put into their machines now is a revelation. And perhaps it is not surprising, since they have, at Billancourt, what are probably the best organised and largest aeroplane works in the world. The machine at Olympia on the stand is an ordinary everyday sample of their good work. It has been taken from stock, to use a rather inaccurate expression, since the demand for these machines is so great that they can keep no stock.
   Plane construction. - Its planes span 45 ft- and 25 ft. respectively, their chord measurement is 5 ft. in the centre bay, from which they taper to the tips. They are separated by struts 4 ft. 9 ins. in length. There are twelve of these struts separating the two planes, half of them being of hollow ash, and the remaining ones of hollow spruce, the ash ones being those immediately on either side of the engine, and the four that brace the cellule above the point of attachment of the landing gear. The spars, both front and rear, are of ash, and the front one is bullet nosed, as it forms the entering edge of the plane. The 10 ft. extensions that are fitted to the top plane on either side of the machine are braced in posit ion by king posts and piano wire in a manner identical to that of a monoplane wing. Double acting ailerons, for balancing, are hinged to the rear spars of these extensions.
   The landing chassis. - The ordinary type of Farman chassis is employed, but in its working out there are many detail improvements. The two short ash skids are spaced 9 ft. 9 ins. apart, and each support the machine through a single rank of three steel tubular struts on either side. There is a sketch printed in connection with this description which shows the neat manner in which the radius rods are universally hinged to the skid by a ball joint. In former types of the Farman under-carriage, steel compression springs were fitted over the axles between the central bobbin carrying the shock absorbers, and the wheel hub, to assist the chassis to track correctly. These have been dispensed with now, and the elastic cord which provides a flexible suspension of the wheels, is now bound under the skids and over the axles.
   The body, a rectangular section girder, built up with ash longerons and ash cross-members, accommodates the pilot and passenger in tandem, and serves as a mounting for the motor and tanks. Its sides and bottom are enclosed, and a wind shield in front assists in keeping some of the draught off the occupants. This front is constructed in rather a neat manner. The skeleton of that portion is of oval section steel tubing, and the vertical members separating the top and bottom sweeps are of the same material. The joints are acetylene welded. Just behind the wind shield there is a very comfortable seat, with a high back of sheet aluminium for the pilot. He controls the rear elevator and the compensating ailerons by means of a vertical universally jointed lever, greatly refined from the crude form of lever that was employed on the early Henry Farman biplanes. The passenger has a seat, perhaps not quite so comfortable, just behind the pilot. The Gnome motor, at the back, is overhung. It is mounted with two flanged steel plates on one side of the crank case, and the fuselage in that vicinity is cross-braced by 3/8-in. steel tubing, to give it the necessary rigidity and strength. By the way, a new type of carburettor is fitted, whereby the engine may be made to run slowly, a condition which is difficult to obtain with the ordinary type of Gnome injector carburettor.
   The tail is cambered, and is supported by outriggers which proceed from the cellule on either side of the engine and which meet at the rudder post. At rest, the tail is supported by a small flexibly sprung skid, which is fitted with a serrated spade, designed to dig into the ground on landing, and so bring the machine quickly to rest.
   There is a further interesting exhibit on this stand - a travelling repair-shop fitted on a 28-h.p. Dennis chassis. The aviation department of the French army possess a large number of these vehicles, which are used to accompany flights of aeroplanes, so that if any of them suffered damage, quick and efficient repairs can be made on the spot. It will be remembered that quite a number of them were exhibited at the last Paris Aero Show. The chassis of the repair-shop shown on the Aircraft Company's stand is a 2-ton lorry chassis, specially designed to pass the British Government transport test. Inside the body, the sides of which are arranged to hinge down and rest on exterior supports to give greater floor space, are a complete set of machine tools, sufficient (may be, more than sufficient) for the accomplishment of aeroplane repairs "on the road." There are installed a drilling machine and a Drummond lathe, both electrically driven by motors which obtain their current from a dynamo driven off the engine shaft. An anvil, a forge, and a convenient bench with a useful-sized vice are also carried.

BRITISH NOTES OF THE WEEK.

A Mishap at Queenborough.

   IT was very hard luck that Capt. Risk, after making a splendid flight from Farnborough on a biplane on the 11th inst., should have met with disaster when so near his destination. The machine was for the naval wing of the Royal Flying Corps, and had been tested at Farnborough. Everything went well until the machine had passed over Sheerness Harbour, when apparently the carburetor froze up owing to the intense cold. Capt. Risk attempted to plane down to the marshes near Queenborough, but when near the ground the machine capsized, both pilot and the passenger, Chief Artificer Susans, being thrown out. Both were taken to Sheerness Hospital, when it was found that their injuries were not very serious, and Susans, in fact, is now out of hospital.

THE AERIAL DERBY.

PILOTS AND HOW TO RECOGNISE THE MACHINES.

No. 5. The Henry Farman Biplane
   resembles the Grahame-White 5-seater in that it has no front elevator, but it may be easily distinguished from that machine as it is much smaller, and has only one tail plane and a single rudder.


THE MACHINES, WITH SOME DETAILS.

   No. 5. The 80 h.p. Gnome-Henry Farman, whose upper and lower planes span 45 ft. and 25 ft. respectively, is somewhat similar to the Maurice Farman, except that it has no front elevator and that the tail is of the monoplane type with its one tail plane level with the upper main plane. It has a single rudder.
   The Gnome engine is situated in its usual position behind the passenger's seat, which is, in turn, behind that of the pilot.

Fine Flight by an Italian Officer.

   A SPLENDID trip was made last week on a 70 h.p. Farman by Lieut. Bailo, the chief instructor at the Pordenone Military Aviation School. Starting from San Francesco he arrived at Comina, a distance of 450 kiloms. in 5 hours 20 mins. without a stop, passing over en route Vigebano, Abbiategrasso, Crema, Verona, Vincenza, Conegliano. Throughout, Bailo maintained an altitude of about 1,500 metres, and encountered a very strong contrary wind when passing over the Lake of Gorda.

BRITISH NOTES OF THE WEEK.

Biplane Looping at Eastbourne.

   A SPLENDID flight was made on Monday by Mr. J. E. B. Thornely, a pupil at the Eastbourne Aviation School, who, although he passed the tests for his pilot's certificate last November, has to wait until he attains the minimum age of 18 next July before he can enjoy the privilege of holding it. On a Henry Farman biplane, built at Eastbourne and fitted with a 70 h.p. Gnome engine, he went up to a height of 3,500 ft., then dived to 2,000 ft., made a perfect loop and dived again, finishing up with a splendid landing after being in the air for twenty minutes.


Flight, May 22, 1914.

THE AERIAL DERBY.

THE PILOTS AND HOW TO RECOGNISE THE MACHINES.

No. 4. The 80 h.p. Henry Farman Biplane
   will be easily recognised by the nacelle, which projects out in front of the main planes, of which the upper one has a considerable overhang. This machine is of the engine-behind type.

THE MACHINES AND HOW TO RECOGNISE THEM.

No. 4. The 80 h.p. Henry Farman Biplane is a standard type Henry Farman. It was on a similar machine that M. P. Verrier recently flew from Hendon to Monaco. The engine, as our readers are, of course, aware, is mounted in the rear of the nacelle, thus constituting this machine to be of the "pusher" type.

CONSTRUCTIONAL DETAILS.-VII.

<...>
   As the Farman type of undercarriage may be said to be the progenitor of the wheel and skid combination, this will be dealt with first. The accompanying illustrations show a modern Henry and Maurice Farman chassis. The chief characteristics are, it will be seen, that there are two pairs of wheels, each pair mounted on a short axle slung from the corresponding skid by means of rubber bands. The skids or runners are in turn supported on a structure of streamline struts running down from the spars of the lower wing. This arrangement, while suffering from the disadvantage that shock is transmitted to the spars, gives a very wide track, and consequently good stability when rolling over the surface.
   The disadvantage of the arrangement is not very serious, and can be almost completely overcome by proper bracing with steel wires or cables.

The two seat Farman HF 22 derived from the pre-war Farman F 16 and when fielded in 1914 as a reconnaissance bomber proved somewhat underpowered under the urging of its 80hp Gnome. Hampered by its limited top speed of 65mph at sea level, the HF 22 took a severe mauling from the enemy and by mid-1915 had been withdrawn from front-line duties to the training role. The type served with the French, both British service arms and Belgium.

While the BE2 was the main tractor type in British service, the Farmans were the prime pusher types, as shown here in this line up of Henri-Farmans including '274, '351, and 708 (with BE2s in the background). The advantage with this design was that the observer in the nose had an exceptional all-round view.
