The Model and Its History

The Nieuport XXI is a French fighter, developed from the popular Nieuport 11 and 17 series, and was introduced in 1917. These aircraft were exported to Russia, where they played a significant role in maintaining air superiority during World War I. Russian military aviation used the Nieuport XXI mainly on the Eastern Front as fighter and training aircraft. This type was powered by a Le Rhône engine with 80–110 HP and was characterized by a lightweight design, which improved its maneuverability in the air.
