The 1910 Farman monoplane was an early French aircraft constructed by Henri Farman in 1910.
It was powered by a 37 kW (50 hp) Gnome Omega rotary engine mounted at the front of an uncovered square section wire-braced wooden box-girder fuselage. Unusually, the engine was mounted in front of the propeller. The parallel-chord wing was mounted above the upper longerons of the fuselage, an arrangement that later became known as a parasol configuration. Like Farman's biplane design, it used ailerons for lateral control. Tail surfaces consisted of a large triangular fin with an unbalanced rectangular rudder hinged to the trailing edge and a rectangular fixed stabiliser and elevator. The upper wing bracing wires were attached to a pair of inverted V struts and the lower wing wires to the ends of the axle of the wide-track two-wheel undercarriage.
It was flown successfully in June 1910.{{cite journal|url=http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1910/1910%20-%200453.html|date=11 June 1910|journal=Flight|page=451|title=The Henry Farman Monoplane.}}
