The Farman F.380 was a French single-seat racing monoplane designed and built by the Farman Aviation Works for air racing. [1]
The F.380 was a low-wing monoplane that first flew in 1933. [1] It was similar but smaller than the contemporary F.370 and was powered by a 155 hp (116 kW) Renault Bengali inverted inline piston engine. [1] Like the F.370 it had streamlined features, including a shallow fin faired into the open cockpit headrest, but unlike the F.370 the F.380's single main wheel could be retracted and extended manually. [2] It was entered into the 1933 Coupe Deutsch de la Meurthe air race but the landing gear collapsed at the start of the race. [1] Despite this setback, before the race it had broken the class world speed record at 303.387 km/h over a 200 km course. [1]
