Short Crusader
The Short Crusader also called the Short-Bristow Crusader〔Barnes, 1989, p.217〕 and Short-Bristol Crusader〔(The Third British Schneider Challenger )''Flight'' 18 August 1927〕 was a British racing seaplane of the 1920s built by Short Brothers, built to compete in the 1927 Schneider Trophy.
==Background==
Although inline engines had a clear advantage for high-speed aircraft due to the smaller frontal area, Roy Fedden, the engineer in charge of aero-engine development at Bristol Aircraft, was unwilling to let the initiative in engine development pass to Rolls-Royce and Napier, and managed to obtain a contract for an uprated version of the Mercury 9-cylinder radial engine. The early production versions of this engine produced , but the uprated engine produced in bench-testing, although for flight purposes it was limited to an output of 〔Barnes & James, p. 218〕 The project for a racing aircraft using this engine was entrusted to Lieut.-Col. W. A. Bristow, a consultant aero-engineer, and W.G. Carter. Submitted to the Air Ministry in early 1926, the design was accepted and a contract for one prototype was awarded. Since it became apparent that the resources of a large aircraft manufacturer would be necessary, detail design and manufacture was assigned to Shorts, who had already been made responsible for the design and manufacture of the floats.
