The Farman F.130 was a 1920s French biplane designed by Farman as a long-range day bomber.[1]
Development
The F.130 was a single-engined biplane design in the BN.3 category based on the larger twin-engined F.60 Goliath.[1] The F.130 had a conventional tailskid landing gear and three open tandem cockpits. It was powered by a nose-mounted 447 kW (600 hp) Farman 18Wd W-18 piston engine.[1]
Following a series of test flights it was underpowered with only one engine and it failed to arouse any interest from either domestic or export customers and was not ordered into production.[1]
