Farman
The company Farman was a French car - and aircraft manufacturers .
Aircraft production
The two brothers Maurice Farman and Henri Farman have been building aircraft at the Buc site since 1908 . In 1912, with their brother Richard, they founded the aircraft manufacturing company Farman Frères in Boulogne-Billancourt . There they first produced the characteristic biplanes with pressure propellers, which were mainly used for military purposes and training flights. In the course of the war, Farman also developed bombers . The “Goliath” passenger plane was derived from the prototype FF.60 and became a milestone in French and European civil aviation at the time.
In 1934, Farman merged with Blériot Aéronautique and ANF Les Mureaux to form UCA, which, however, was merged into the state Société Nationale de Constructions Aéronautiques du Center (SNCAC) in 1936 .
