Henri Farman H.F.24

  The H.F.24 was similar to the H.F.20, but the central nacelle was mounted on the top wing instead of the lower. The nacelle held the pilot, engine, and fuel and oil tanks and was also shorter and smaller than those used on previous versions of the H.F.20. It is unclear what advantage this layout would have had over the previous configurations, although the rearward view of the observer and pilot would certainly have been improved. The engine was an 80-hp Gnome Lambda. The plane was built in 1913.
  The Farman H.F.24 represented a significant departure from Henri Farman's preceding designs. It was a small sesquiplane intended as a trainer or aerobatic machine (to perform loops). The lower wing span was only 3.75 m. The undercarriage was unique for a Farman design, featuring two independent wheels in order to ensure stability on the ground. As far as can be determined no H.F.24s were purchased by the Aviation Militaire and none is known to have been purchased by foreign air services.
