2007 Nieuport 27 was a French fighter aircraft that served in World War I. It was designed by Gustave Delage and produced by Nieuport, Nakajima and the Uruguayan Air Force. It was the last model of the Nieuport series that used the distinctive V-shaped interplane struts. The Nieuport 27 had a rounded fuselage, ailerons and rudder, and a single or twin machine gun configuration. It was powered by a rotary engine that could reach a maximum speed of 185 km/h and a ceiling of 5,550 m.
The Nieuport 27 entered service in October 1917 and was used by several countries, including France, Italy, Japan, Poland, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. It was also used as an advanced trainer for pilots. The Nieuport 27 was replaced by the more advanced Nieuport 28 in 1918. One of the most famous feats of the Nieuport 27 was performed by Charles Godefroy, who flew it through the Arc de Triomphe in Paris on August 7, 1919, as a protest against the exclusion of aviators from the victory parade after the war.
