WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- Sesquiplane layout with a shorter lower wing
- Single rotary engine in a pusher arrangement
- Three-man crew in a 16 m wingspan airframe
Look for an early Farman pusher with a rotary engine and a crew of three. It spans 16 m and is 10.2 m long.
