Royal Aircraft Factory F.E.2 - Design and Development

Design and Development

The F.E.2 (Farman Experimental 2) designation refers to three quite distinct designs - all pushers based on the general layout employed by the French aircraft designers, the Farman Brothers - but otherwise completely different aircraft. This "re-use" of the F.E.2 designation has caused much confusion - although this article is principally about the last of the three designs, the earlier ones are described briefly below.

Famous quotes containing the words design and/or development:

    The reason American cars don’t sell anymore is that they have forgotten how to design the American Dream. What does it matter if you buy a car today or six months from now, because cars are not beautiful. That’s why the American auto industry is in trouble: no design, no desire.
    Karl Lagerfeld (b. 1938)

    John B. Watson, the most influential child-rearing expert [of the 1920s], warned that doting mothers could retard the development of children,... Demonstrations of affection were therefore limited. “If you must, kiss them once on the forehead when they say goodnight. Shake hands with them in the morning.”
    Sylvia Ann Hewitt (20th century)
