ザ ニューポート 27 (または現代の情報源ではニューポールXXVII C.1)は、ギュスターヴ・ドラージュによって設計された第一次世界大戦のフランスのセスキプレーン戦闘機でした。27は、1914年のニューポール10から始まったニューポール「Vストラット」単座戦闘機の最後のラインでした。1917年後半の作戦飛行隊では、非常によく似たニューポール24と24bisを補完する運用例があり、多くは上級練習機としても使用された。

General Characteristics and Role
The Nieuport 27 was a French single-seat fighter biplane, serving as one of the final derivatives of the successful line of Nieuport “V-strut” sesquiplanes that saw widespread use during World War I. A sesquiplane is an aircraft where one wing (usually the lower one) is significantly smaller than the other. The Model 27 retained the classic V-strut configuration supporting the wings but introduced structural improvements, notably a rounded rear fuselage and strengthened landing gear. It was intended as an interim fighter for the French Aéronautique Militaire before the larger, more powerful SPAD S.XIII became widely available, and was also used extensively by the British, Russian, and American air services.

- Alternative Armament: Earlier models sometimes featured an unsynchronized Lewis machine gun mounted on the upper wing (Pulpit mount), firing over the propeller.
- Use by the US: Used by the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) in France as a primary fighter for initial combat squadrons until SPADs were delivered.
