Development

The F.150 was a twin-engined unequal-span biplane to the B.3 specification, which could be fitted with fixed landing gear or floats. Although the design was an improvement on the earlier Goliath, it did not increase in performance, and it was not ordered into production.

F.150bis
a smaller version powered by 2x 300 kW (400 hp) Lorraine 12Db V-12 piston engines, of which only two were built.
