 The fuselage was significantly longer (3.3 m or 10 ft 10 in) partly because of the decision to seat pilot and co-pilot side by side and further forward, clear of the wing leading edge.From there, forward to the nose the top of the fuselage was now horizontal, rather than falling away downwards as on the civil aircraft.This change, giving a poorer forward view resulted from fitting the longer inline Lorraine 12 Ds in the bomber rather than the short Salmson radials of the Latécoère 4.
