Quadriplane by V.F.Saveljev
|
Two-seat compact reconnaissater, downsized copy (almost) of 1916 quadriplane. It was fast, but other characteristics suffered. Maneuverability was poor, handling (specially during landing) was difficult.
In any case quadriplane layout was obsolete in 1923 when new requirements emerged for aircraft to satisfy.
