| Derived from the F.K.9, but embodying considerable redesign,
the F.K.10 two-seat fighter-reconnaissance
quadruplane retained virtually no more than the basic
wing structure of its immediate predecessor. A production
contract for 50 F.K.10s was given to Angus Sanderson
& Company of Newcastle-on-Tyne on 30
December 1916 on behalf of the RFC, but only five aircraft
were destined to be completed before the contract
was cancelled. Three were ordered for the RNAS, two
of these from the Phoenix Dynamo Manufacturing
Company and one from Armstrong Whitworth, these
eventually being completed and tested. The F.K.10 was
normally powered by a 130hp Clerget 9B rotary, but at
least one was flown with a 110hp Le Rhone, and armament
comprised one fixed 7.7mm Vickers
gun and one free 7.7mm Lewis.
