| F — Fuselage | Large equal-span biplane with the fuselage braced between the wings |
| T — Tail | Twin fin |
WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- Large equal-span biplane with the fuselage braced between the wings
- Four rotary engines stacked in pairs, two on the upper wing and two on the lower wing
- Biplane tail with three fins
Look for a big equal-span biplane with four rotary engines stacked in vertical pairs and a triple-fin biplane tail.
