The F.190 was a French light commercial transport. A single-engined monoplane, it featured widely-spaced landing gear and large wings, allowing it to operate from primitive airfields. About 100 craft were built in the series from 1928 to 1931. Most differed only in engine type and size, although there was an ambulance version (F.197S) with provision for two patients on stretchers and one medical attendant.
The F.190 burns 7.7 gallons of fuel per hour at routine usage.

Design Notes
Design aSpeed is 103 mph; the historical speed, as well as actual wing
area (433 sf), has been used. Wing cost, weight and HPs were divided by
two to lower overall weight. Loaded weight was reduced by a further 1%.
