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.
