Tag: Nieuport

Nieuport was a French aircraft manufacturer that was active from 1909 to 1926. The company was founded by Edouard de Nieport, who began producing monoplanes for racing and aerial acrobatics.

During World War I, Nieuport became known for producing several successful fighter planes, including the Nieuport 10 and Nieuport 11, which were used by the French Air Service and the Royal Flying Corps. The Nieuport 17, which featured a more powerful engine and better armament, was also a successful fighter plane.

After the war, the company continued to produce aircraft, but it faced financial difficulties and was eventually acquired by another French aircraft manufacturer, SPAD, in 1920.
