The Farman F.120 was a multi-engine multirole monoplane aircraft. It was relatively well-furnished for the era, being able to routinely conduct night flights via equipment such as
searchlights, landing
flares, position lights, and general illumination. Dependent on the variant of the aircraft, as many as four engines could be installed. The aircraft possessed relatively high fuel efficiency for the era. The F.120 was equipped with a relatively thick wing, possessing a
span of 19 m (62.34 ft.) and a
chord of 6 m (19.68 ft.) at its centre. Both the thickness and the chord of the wing decrease towards the
tips. The supporting framework of the wing was entirely enclosed. The fuselage was internally divided into various sections; the foremost section contained the baggage compartment along with, after which and just forward of the wing, the cockpit. This cockpit provided two seats for its crew, typically comprising one pilot and an assistant. The centre of the fuselage was occupied by the passenger compartment, which had sufficient space for up to 12 passengers to travel on comfortable seats even with a central isle. Primary access to the interior was via a single sliding door, while multiple exits were provided across the aircraft to aid in emergency egress. On account of having an entirely unobstructed fuselage base, it was relatively straightforward to convert the aircraft into an armed military configuration, such as that of a bomber or a
torpedo plane. ==Operational history==
