Nieuport VI
The Nieuport VI was a sport monoplane produced in France in the 1910s, a further development by Nieuport along the same general lines as the Nieuport II and Nieuport IV.〔Taylor 1989, p.696〕〔''The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Aircraft'', p.2597〕 ==Design and development== Like its predecessors, the Nieuport VI was a wire-braced, mid-wing monoplane of conventional design, powered by a single engine in the nose driving a tractor propeller. It differed, however, in being a three-seater rather than a single seater (a bench for two passengers fitted in tandem with the pilot's seat) and in using steel for part of its internal structure where earlier designs had used wood only.〔Sanger 2002, p.25〕 Produced initially as a seaplane and designated VI-G, it had twin pontoons as undercarriage, with a teardrop-shaped auxiliary float under the tail. The pontoons were fitted with small planes at either side of their nose ends to protect the propeller and to reduce the tendency for the nose ends of the floats to submerge while taxiing,〔"The Paris Aero Salon" 1912, 1026–27〕 and "stepped" keels.〔"Reflections on the Monaco Meeting" 1913, 485〕 Since being a seaplane precluded the possibility of the pilot swinging the propeller by hand in order to start the engine, a crank was provided inside the cockpit that wound a spring that could be used to turn the engine over.〔 The Type VI also featured a joystick for lateral control in place of the Blériot-style "cloche" controls used on earlier Nieuport designs.〔Hartmann 2006, p.7〕〔"The Nieuport Hydro-Aeroplane" 1913, p.430〕 A refined version was produced as the Nieuport VI-H with a revised empennage and other changes. This was operated by the French and British navies. A landplane version for military use was designated the Nieuport VI-M. Military Type VIs were built under licence in Italy by Macchi〔 and in Russia.〔
