being l.lm (3.6 ft.) wide by 1.8 m (5.9 ft.) high, its base being very near to the ground, which eased access. It was often comfortably furnished, being occupied by eight seats in a standard configuration. The sides of the cabin were lined with large windows that permitted the passengers to have an unobstructed view of the landscape below. Passengers were able to regulate the climate of the cabin, somewhat, via the use of a series of trap doors, the opening and closing of which altering the rate of aeration; other passenger convenience features included a hot-water heating system. The
341: 26: 125:. During the early 1920s, there was a strong preference amongst operators for single-engine airliners. Since even multi-engine aircraft could not keep flying in the (likely) event of a mid-flight engine failure, it was considered that a single engine offered just as much security while offering a greater ease of maintenance. At the time, Farman's engines were held in high regard, having demonstrated their endurance with multiple record-breaking flights (during 145, one aircraft equipped with a Farman engine was able to fly continuously for 45 hours. 155:. It possessed relatively favourable flight qualities, particularly in terms of its range of speed and manoeuvrability, while contributed to overall safety. The aircraft was also relatively durable for the era, in part due to its materials having been carefully selected; extensive measures were taken to protect against fire hazards, including the isolation of engine components, the positioning of the fuel tanks, the adoption of a metal engine bed, the provision of 312: 194:
been operated at a moderate speed while the excess power capacity of the engine remained available to the pilot for occasional use, such as when the aircraft was flying close to the ground. While carrying 370 kg (816 lb.) of fuel and a payload of 850 kg, it was capable of flying non-stop for up to five hours, traversing roughly 900 km (560 miles) during this time.

To start the engine, an electric starter could be used by the pilot at any moment. Typically, the engine would have

Farman's design team prioritised the achievement of a high level of flight efficiency, which would permit the aircraft to travel at relatively high speeds while carrying heavy payloads while requiring the minimal amount of engine power and fuel capacity. Furthermore, the F.170 was designed to be as
