NIEUPORT 16c - ANDRE CHAINAT - FRENCH AR%Y AIR FORCE - 1916

The Nieuport 16 was a Nieuport 11 equipped with the 92 hp Gnome et Rhône 9J engine. It had also been added a neck cover for the pilot and the propeller pan was ventilated in the lower part.

The later examples were fitted with an additional Vickers machine gun, but the weight of the machine gun, added to the torque of the engine, destabilized the aircraft and caused it to nose down. This problem was fixed with version 17.
