__NOTOC__ The CAMS 31 was a 1920s French single-seat fighter biplane flying-boat designed and built by Chantiers Aéro-Maritimes de la Seine (CAMS).〔 ==Design and development== The CAMS 31 was a wooden-built two-bay equal span biplane with stabilising floats under each wing and an open cockpit forward of the lower-wing for the pilot.〔 Powered by a Hispano-Suiza 8Fb inline piston engine driving a pusher propeller, the engine was strut mounted between the wings.〔 The CAMS 31 was armed with two fixed hull-mounted Vickers machine-guns in the bow.〔 The CAMS 31 prototype, later designated the CAMS 31 Type 22, first flew in 1922. A second prototype, the CAMS 31 Type 23, flew in 1923 with a reduced-span wing and wider chord but still had the same wing area as the Type 22.〔 Testing proved the flying-boats handled well but were just not suitable as fighters and no more were built.〔 A mail carrying postal variant was designated CAMS 31P 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CAMS 31」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
