High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The F.E.1 (Farman Experimental) was the second aircraft built by the pioneer designer Geoffrey de Havilland - he designed and built it in 1910. He used it to teach himself to fly during late 1910. Although it was not built at the Royal Aircraft Factory it became the first aircraft to bear an official Factory designation. Like the Bristol Boxkite and several other contemporary designs, the F.E.1 closely followed the general lines of early Farman aircraft (in turn based on the early Wright machines), with the pilot seated on the lower wing directly in front of the engine, behind a fore-elevator. It was a pusher aircraft, powered by a 45 hp (34 kW) engine built for de Havilland by the Iris Motor Company to his own design.
