AVRO 618 "TEN"

The Avro 618 Ten (also known as the Avro 618 X) was a British airliner from the interwar period and World War II in a fixed undercarriage high wing configuration. The drive - in the Avro 618 version - was provided by three Armstrong Siddeley Lynx IV engines with a power of 240 HP each. The machine entered service in 1930. The Avro 618 Ten was a license copy of the successful Fokker VIIB / 3m aircraft that was manufactured by Avro. Compared to the original, it differed primarily in the use of other engines with slightly more power. It was also adapted to transport eight passengers. In the course of production, three main development versions of this aircraft were created: Avro 618 Ten (basic production version), Avro 619 Five (a smaller version of the 618 model powered by other engines), Avro 624 Six (an intermediate size version between the 618 and 619 models). Avro 618 Ten planes and development versions were used by airlines in Great Britain, Australia and India. They were used to a small extent by the British and Egyptian air forces.
