The Nieuport N17 was a more powerful development of the earlier Nieuport N11. Originally it was powered with a 90 hp Le Rhone rotary engine and in later development was powered with a 130 hp Le Rhone rotary engine. It was capable of outstanding maneuverability and a very high rate of climb. It was armed with the synchronized Vickers automatic machine gun for French aircraft and Lewis Gun mounted on the Foster type mount on the top wing for British ordered models. These saw service beginning in 1916 replacing the Nieuport 11 in French service at the time. German Luftwaffe captured some examples and passed them on to manufacturers for copying. The result was the Siemans-Schukert D.1. The SPAD VII had been developed and was fast replacing all the Nieuport in service. Most allied aces had at one time flown the Nieuport.
