The Wright Model F was a prototype military aircraft built by the Wright Company for the U.S. Army in 1914. It was the first Wright design to feature a fuselage. The major structural elements of previous Wright designs had been connected by open frameworks. The application of metal armor to the underside of the fuselage, together with its unenviable performance, earned the aircraft the nickname "Tin Cow".
