The B.A.J. IVC.2 (or the Boncourt-Audenis-Jacob Type IV) was a French two-seat fighter designed and built by Boncourt-Audenis-Jacob at Bron. Design and development[edit]
The IVC.2 was an equal-span two-bay biplane powered by a 300 hp (224 kW) Hispano-Suiza 8Fb inline piston engine. It was fitted with a fixed and synchronised forward firing Vickers machine-gun and the observer had a mounted twin Lewis Gun. The type was ordered by the French government in May 1918 as the IVC.2 and by November the prototype was test flying from Villacoublay. The testing went well and the prototype was returned to Bron for repairs and was replaced by the second prototype. A fire in late 1918 at Bron led to the development of the type being abandoned.
