Development

The F.370 was a low-wing monoplane that first flew on the 22 April 1933.[1] Powered by a Farman 8 Vee-piston engine it had streamlined features, including a shallow fin faired into the open cockpit headrest and fixed main monowheel landing gear faired into the engine and oil radiators of the engine.[1] It was entered into the 1933 Coupe Deutsch de la Meurthe air race in which it averaged over 300 km/h (187 mph), on the fifth circuit the engine overheated and the F.370 withdrew from the race.[1]

gollark: Well, if the configuration is too similar, then it might be too similar to configuration files used by IRC networks in apiospace. Now, of course, most apiospatial information is highly cognitometaapiohyperhazardous, so it would be bad if it entered normal IRC networks.
gollark: You must install ngircd, set up appropriate SSL certificates (or use existing ones), and do various configuration.
gollark: I simply manipulate probability such that whatever I want to type spontaneously ends up in RAM somehow.
gollark: I can't.
gollark: HPage™ runs through a wireguard link to my server, and it's quite flaky.
