FARMAN FF60 n°1 GOLIATH PROTOTYPE

3D Model

The Goliath was initially designed in 1918 as a heavy bomber capable of carrying 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) of bombs with a range of 1,500 km (930 mi). It was a fixed-undercarriage three-bay biplane of fabric-covered wood construction, powered by two Salmson 9Z engines. The FF60 n°1 was the first prototype. On 8 February 1919, it carries 12 paying passengers from Toussus-le-Noble to RAF Kenley. Since non-military flying was not permitted at that date, Lucien Bossoutrot and his passengers were all ex-military pilots who wore uniforms and carried mission orders for the circumstances. The flight went well, taking 2 hours and 30 minutes. The pilot and passengers were well received in England. The return flight was made the following day and took 2 hours and 10 minutes. It was considered as the first civil commercial flight in aviation history.
