FS98 Ivanov-Voisin Anatra pusher biplane. Also known as Anatra V.I., this 1916 Russian reconnaissance pusher biplane was a modification of the French Voisin-5, built by Anatra in the Ukraine. It had a strengthened airframe, a new plywood crew nacelle and sturdier landing gear. It was 110 lb lighter and 11 kt faster than the Voisin 5 with the same motorization, a 150 hp Salmson 9-cylinder radial pusher engine that conferred a top speed of 68 kt. 150 units were built.
