The Nieuport pusher seaplane was a French pusher configuration sesquiplane developed by Nieuport and first flown in 1913. As Nieuport's first sesquiplane, it was unusual in that the lower wing had a very short span, and its chord was broad as that of the upper wing. It was also unusual in being fitted with a Salmson radial and was the only Nieuport to be fitted with an engine from this manufacturer. It was also unusual in being a pusher - the only such aircraft of this configuration to originate with Nieuport, as the contemporary Nieuport-Dunne was a development of the Dunne D.8 built under licence.
