The Airdrome Nieuport 24 is an American amateur-built aircraft, designed and produced by Airdrome Aeroplanes, of Holden, Missouri. The aircraft is supplied as a kit for amateur construction and is available in two versions, the Nieuport 24 and Nieuport 24 bis.[1][2][3]

The aircraft is a full-sized replica of the First World War French Nieuport 24 fighter, built from modern materials and powered by modern engines.[1][2]

Design and development

The Airdrome Nieuport 24 features a strut-braced sesquiplane layout, a single-seat open cockpit, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1][2]

The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminum tubing, with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. The kit is made up of twelve sub-kits. The Airdrome Nieuport 24 has a wingspan of Шаблон:Convert and a wing area of Шаблон:Convert. It can be equipped with engines ranging from Шаблон:Convert. The standard engine is the Шаблон:Convert Hirth F30 two stroke engine, with a Volkswagen air-cooled engine four-stroke or a Шаблон:Convert Rotec R2800 four stroke radial engine optional. Building time from the factory-supplied kit is estimated at 400 hours by the manufacturer.[1][2][4]

The replica performs better than the original Nieuport 24 on the same installed power, because modern materials result in a much lighter aircraft.[1][2]

Operational history

Twelve examples had been completed by December 2011.[3]
