The Nieuport 23 was a fighter aircraft produced in France during the First World War. It was a development of the Nieuport 17 intended to address structural weakness of the earlier type and most were produced with a lighter version of the Le Rhône 9J engine that powered the Nieuport 17 offering a better power-to-weight ratio. Internally the main difference between the Types 17 and 23 was a redesigned wing spar in the upper wing.
