Nieuport 11
The Nieuport 11, nicknamed the ''Bébé'', was a French World War I single seat fighter aircraft, designed by Gustave Delage.〔http://www.vazduhoplovnetradicijesrbije.rs/index.php/istorija/102-nijepor-11〕 It is famous as one of the aircraft that ended the 'Fokker Scourge' in 1916.〔Chant & Taylor 2007, p. 14.〕
The type saw service with several of France's allies, and gave rise to the series of "vee-strut" Nieuport fighters that remained in service (latterly as trainers) for the rest of the war.
==Design and development==
The Nieuport 11 was basically a smaller, simplified version of the Nieuport 10 - designed specifically as a single-seat fighter. Like the "10" the "11" was a sesquiplane, a biplane with a full-sized top wing with two spars, and a lower wing of much narrower chord. Interplane struts in the form of a "Vee" joined the single spar lower wing to the broader, twin-spar structure upper wing on each side. While the sesquiplane layout offers reduced drag and a higher rate of climb, as well as improved view from the cockpit, the narrow lower wing tends to flutter and twist under stress, especially at high air speeds. This was a problem with the "vee-strut" Nieuports, as well as the German Albatros D.III and V, which adopted a generally similar wing design.〔Fitzsimons 1967/1969, p. 1989.〕
Nieuport 11s were supplied to the ''Aéronautique Militaire'', the Royal Naval Air Service, Belgium, Russia and Italy. 646 were produced by the Italian Macchi company under licence.〔〔
