SUPERMARINE S.6B

“IT PUSHED THE BOUNDARIES OF TECHNOLOGY IN MANY WAYS, FROM AERODYNAMICS TO CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES, WHILE THE ENGINE ALSO BROKE NEW GROUND”

Designed by a team led by the legendary Reginald J. Mitchell, the Supermarine S.6b float plane was built with a single purpose in mind – speed. It was a development of the S.6, winner of the 1929 Schneider Trophy, an international maritime air race. The S.6b was to enter the 1931 competition.
