Nieuport-Delage NiD 50 HB.4

The Nieuport-Delage NiD 50 HB.4 was a twin-engined bomber / reconnaissance floatplane, designed in the latter half of the 1920s, to the 1928 HB.4 specification from the Service Technique de l'Aéronautique (STAé), for a four-seat seaplane bomber. Development was cancelled before the first prototype was completed.

Development
Issued in January 1928, the STAé published an offshore torpedo bomber seaplane HB.4 specification. Nieuport-Astra responded and exhibited the partially complete NiD 50 HB.4 at the 1928 Paris Aero Salon. The aircraft was a large monoplane skinned entirely with light alloy sheet supported on two 10.60 m long all-metal floats and powered by two 420 hp Gnome & Rhône 9A Jupiter radial engines.

The 4 crew members were to have consisted of a gunner in the nose, pilot, navigator and gunner in the rear fuselage.
