Supermarine S.6: How Britain Built One of the Fastest Seaplanes in History

Описание: The Supermarine S.6 was Britain’s extraordinary Schneider Trophy racing seaplane, reaching 528 km/h in 1929. Designed by R.J. Mitchell, the all-metal S.6 combined advanced aerodynamics, surface radiators and the powerful Rolls-Royce R engine to push piston-powered aviation toward its limits. Discover how N247 won the 1929 Schneider Trophy, why the aircraft was so difficult to control, and how S.6 development led to the faster S.6B and Britain’s final Schneider Trophy triumph in 1931. Its engineering legacy would influence the future Supermarine Spitfire.
