  2. Nieuport 17 Specifics Specifics • It was built in France. • March 1916 • It is a Fighter. • Le Rhône 9J, 9 cylinder, rotary, 110 hp • 110 mph • It can get up to 17,388 ft (5,300 m) • Its got a 2 hour flight time. • Holds 1 person • 1 Lewis .303 machine gun and/or1 Vickers .303 machine gun • It is a allied plane • It is a France built plane • It was flying from 1916-na

  3. History. • I picked the Nieuport because it is lighter than most of the other aircrafts, and it is also a lot smaller so it is better for maneuvering when in a dog fight. • the French produced the Nieuport 17, armed with a Vickers gun with a synchronized firing mechanism, and far superior to the Nieuport 11, owing to its much higher ceiling. Many of these machines carried, in addition to the Vickers, a Lewis gun, mounted on the upper wing, but

  4. Comparison V.S Nieuport 17 Fokker D.VII • Mercedes D-III 6 cylinder liquid cooled inline • 2 Spandau 7.92 mm machine guns • Bigger harder to fly . • Its got a 1.5 hour flight time. • Le Rhône 9J, 9 cylinder, rotary, • Its got a 2 hour flight time. • 1 Lewis .303 machine gun and/or1 Vickers .303 machine gun • Smaller for better moving

  5. Impact to war. • it was initially equipped with a Lewis gun but was upgraded to a synchronized Vickers machine gun. Helping end Germany's domination of the air war, the Nieuport 17 easily out climbed and outperformed the Fokker E.III. It helped the war because it was a small, easy moving fighter plane that had a good set of guns and wings.
