The Farman F.150 was a 1920s French twin-engined biplane designed by Farman as a day bomber.^[1]

Development

The F.150 was a twin-engined unequal-span biplane to the B.3 specification, which could be fitted with fixed landing gear or floats.^[1] Although the design was an improvement on the earlier Goliath, it did not increase in performance, and it was not ordered into production.^[1]

Variants

F.150: The original B.3 version powered by 2x 280 kW (380 hp) Gnome et Rhône 9Aa 9-cylinder radial piston engines, of which only one was built.^[2]
F.150bis: a smaller version powered by 2x 300 kW (400 hp) Lorraine 12Db V-12 piston engines, of which only two were built.^[3]
F.150 Marin: ((in English) Marine) Floatplane bomber for Aeronavale.^[1]
