The Nieuport 24 was a French biplane fighter aircraft produced during World War I. It was designed by Gustave Delage as an improvement on the earlier Nieuport 17, with a more powerful engine and improved aerodynamics. The Nieuport 24 was essentially an upgraded version of the Nieuport 17, with a more powerful engine and improved armament.

The Nieuport 24 entered service with the French Air Service in early 1917, and it saw extensive use throughout World War I, both as a fighter and a reconnaissance aircraft. It was also used by several other countries, including Italy and Russia.

The Nieuport 24 was highly maneuverable and agile, and it was armed with a single synchronized Vickers machine gun, which was mounted on the upper wing and fired through the propeller arc. Later versions of the aircraft were equipped with a second Vickers machine gun mounted on the fuselage.

The Nieuport 24 was known for its excellent handling characteristics and its ability to climb rapidly, making it a formidable opponent for many of the aircraft it faced in combat. It was also relatively light and nimble, which made it particularly well-suited for dogfighting.

Despite its strengths, the Nieuport 24 was not without its limitations. It was relatively lightly armed and armored, and it was known for being somewhat fragile in combat. However, it remained a popular and effective aircraft throughout World War I, and it played an important role in establishing and maintaining air superiority during the latter years of the conflict.
