Short Type 827
The Short Type 827 was a 1910s British two-seat reconnaissance floatplane. It was also known as the Short Admiralty Type 827.
The Short Type 827 was a two-bay biplane with unswept equal-span wings, a slightly smaller development of the Short Type 166. It had a box-section fuselage mounted on the lower wing. It had twin floats under the forward fuselage, plus small floats fitted at the wingtips and tail. It was powered by a nose-mounted 155 hp Sunbeam Nubian engine, with a two-bladed tractor propeller. The crew of two sat in open cockpits in tandem.
The aircraft was built by Short Brothers and also produced by different contractors around the United Kingdom, i.e. Brush Electrical, Parnall, Fairey and Sunbeam.
The Short Type 830 was a variant, powered by a 135 hp Salmson water-cooled radial engine.Variants
