Design and development
The F.E.7 was powered by two Rolls-Royce pusher engines, each generating 250 hp (186 kW). These were mounted within the fuselage and drove the propellers by means of gears and shafts. It was armed with a Coventry Ordnance Works one-pounder gun, and a few Lewis machine guns. However, the project was abandoned.[1]
