The Farman F.150 was a 1920s French twin-engined biplane designed by Farman as a day bomber.{{cite book |title= The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Aircraft (Part Work 1982-1985)|publisher= Orbis Publishing|page=1740}}

Development

The F.150 was a twin-engined unequal-span biplane to the B.3 specification, which could be fitted with fixed landing gear or floats. Although the design was an improvement on the earlier Goliath, it did not increase in performance, and it was not ordered into production.
