Design and Development

In 1915, Gustave Delage modified a Nieuport 10 with a set of triplane wings in an unusual fore-aft-fore stagger for testing, this design was later patented in 1916.[1]
Nieuport 17 Triplane
Two Nieuport 17s, modified with reversed stagger on the upper mainplane and armed with one Lewis machine gun) were tested by the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS).[2]
Nieuport 17bis triplane
One more triplane, modified from a Nieuport 17bis, was also tested and allotted to No. 11 Squadron RNAS until June 1917.[1] Having never been ordered into production, it was never given an official designation.
