The Airco DH.2 was a single-seat pusher biplane fighter aircraft which operated during the First World War.It was the second pusher design by aeronautical engineer Geoffrey de Havilland for Airco, based on his earlier DH.1 two-seater.
The fuselage (/ ˈ f juː z əl ɑː ʒ /; from the French fuselé "spindle-shaped") is an aircraft's main body section. It holds crew , passengers, or cargo . In single-engine aircraft, it will usually contain an engine as well, although in some amphibious aircraft the single engine is mounted on a pylon attached to the fuselage, which in turn ...

On the other hand, the B.E.3 to the B.E.7 were all effectively working prototypes for the B.E.8 and were all very similar in design, with progressive ...
