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)
“I have an intense personal interest in making the use of American capital in the development of China an instrument for the promotion of the welfare of China, and an increase in her material prosperity without entanglements or creating embarrassment affecting the growth of her independent political power, and the preservation of her territorial integrity.”
