Hanriot HD.2

48.6k Noman0rumeral  8.4 years ago

The Hanriot HD.2 was a biplane floatplane fighter aircraft produced in France during the First World War which was used after the war for testing the use of aircraft from warships.

The design was based on that of the HD.1, but was a purpose-built floatplane. It had larger tail surfaces and a shorter wingspan with greater area.
Like its predecessor, though, it was a conventional single-bay biplane with staggered wings of unequal span.

The prototype had a twin pontoon undercarriage, with a small third pontoon under the tail. The third pontoon was later discarded on production machines though.


Thank you and enjoy
