CONT

The B.E.12 was originally designed as a single-seat fighter, but it was soon relegated to the reconnaissance/light bombing role. It first flew in 1916. In that role it carried a crew of two, pilot and observer/gunner. It was powered by the 150hp R.A.F A1 engine, which was adequate for the aircraft, but certainly not overpowered.

Key term(s)
  • over-powered
  • over powered

French

Domaine(s)
  • Propulsion des aéronefs
CONT

La construction était typique de l'époque (1938), fuselage et ailes en aluminium et surfaces de commandes entoilées. Surmotorisé, peu apte au combat tournoyant mais très rapide en piqué, le Shoki se fit vite apprécié des pilotes japonais.

OBS

surmotoriser : Motoriser plus que nécessaire.
