Historical overview

The Nieuport Triplane was an outstanding experimental design from the time of World War I. The French company Nieuport constructed this triplane fighter around 1917, attempting to answer the successes of the German Fokker Dr.I. The aircraft did not enter mass production, but several prototypes were tested by both the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) and the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) in Great Britain. It was one of the few French triplanes that caught the interest of Western Allies, and the testing program contributed to the development of later fighters from that period.
