Renard R.34 Explained
The
Renard R.34 was a 1930s
Belgian two-seat
biplane trainer designed by
Alfred Renard and built by Societé Anonyme des Avions et Moteurs Renard.
Design and development
The R.34 was built for a Belgian military competition in October 1933 for an aerobatic and general-purpose biplane. The R.34 was a biplane that first flew on 21 July 1934 powered by a 2400NaN0 Renard 200 radial engine. It was also fitted with a 2600NaN0 Armstrong Siddeley Lynx engine fitted with a Townend ring. The competition was won by the Avro Tutor and, although the R.24 was later flown in a number of military configurations, it did not enter production.
