The Airdrome Nieuport 17 is an American amateur-built aircraft, designed and produced by Airdrome Aeroplanes, of Holden, Missouri. The aircraft is supplied as a kit for amateur construction.
The aircraft is a full-scale replica of the First World War French Nieuport 17 fighter. The replica is built from modern materials and powered by modern engines.
The Airdrome Nieuport 17 features a "V"-strut sesquiplane layout, a single-seat open cockpit, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.
The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminum tubing, with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. The kit is made up of twelve sub-kits. The Airdrome Nieuport 17 has a wingspan of 26.8 ft (8.2 m) and a wing area of 180 sq ft (17 m2). The standard engine used is the 102 hp (76 kW) four stroke Volkswagen air-cooled engine. Building time from the factory-supplied kit is estimated at 400 hours by the manufacturer. The aircraft can be constructed as a Nieuport 17 or as the more refined Nieuport 17bis.

My Dream Plane to build. I purchased the old Graham Lee Plans back in 2003, but this seems to be a much better way to build the Nieuport 17. Love the British markings too. Thank you for posting this and offering this great kit.
i think those new UK laws should replicated in the USA, ultralight eindecker would be my dream
Happy New Year 2022 .amen 🏁
Those are beautiful!
Stunning!
I realize these aircraft are not intended for aerobatics, but I'm curious to those who have flown an actual WW1 fighter (or a very close wood/fabric replica) how they compare to these full-scale aluminum/fabric Airdrome Aeroplane versions. Outstanding products btw, worthy of their own airshow.
Flying with less laws and maybe a little more portable tech in headsets would emporwer many with gps and position fixing using radios and beacons would be a move towards 3d hyway like yellow brick road simulations partly in use already
Get a copy of Capt Eddie's old fighter.
