The Beardmore W.B.1 was a British single-engine bomber biplane of World War I developed by Beardmore.〔Taylor 1990, p.56.〕 ==Development and design== In 1916, George Tighman Richards, the newly appointed chief designer of the aviation department of the Scottish shipbuilder William Beardmore, designed his first aircraft for Beardmore, the W.B.1. This was to be a single engined bomber for the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS), which was intended to carry out long gliding attacks to achieve surprise. It was a three-bay biplane with long span high aspect ratio wings, which were highly staggered.〔Mason 1994, p.75.〕 It was powered by a 230 hp (172 kW) BHP engine and first flew in early 1917.〔 The W.B.1 was delivered to the RNAS at Cranwell for evaluation on 8 June 1917.〔Lewis 1980, p.72.〕 By this time however, the larger and more capable Handley Page O/100 was in production and the W.B.1 was rejected by the RNAS.〔
