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:
“Nowadays the host does not admit you to his hearth, but has got the mason to build one for yourself somewhere in his alley, and hospitality is the art of keeping you at the greatest distance. There is as much secrecy about the cooking as if he had a design to poison you.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There are two things which cannot be attacked in front: ignorance and narrow-mindedness. They can only be shaken by the simple development of the contrary qualities. They will not bear discussion.”
—John Emerich Edward Dalberg, 1st Baron Acton (1834–1902)
