Supermarine. Гоночные самолеты
<...>
К гонкам 1927 года, проводившимся в Венеции, были готовы новые гидросамолеты-монопланы S.5. Один оснащался 900-сильным (671 кВт) ПД Napier Lion VIIA, а другой - 875-сильным (652 кВт) Napier Lion VIIB. Полумонококовый фюзеляж был выполнен преимущественно из дюраля, а низкорасположенное крыло имело деревянные лонжероны и нервюры с обшивкой из фанеры. В этих состязаниях самолеты S.5 заняли первое и второе места.
На предпоследних гонках в британском Калшоте в 1929 году "Supermarine" представила два доработанных самолета S.6, оснащенных 1900-сильными (1417 кВт) ПД Rolls-Royce "R". Один из них, пилотируемый офицером британских ВВС Р. Уэгхорном, пришел первым, показав рекордную скорость 528,87 км/ч.
Из-за отсутствия государственной поддержки проведение гонок 1931 года в Британии стояло под вопросом. Однако они состоялись благодаря кампании сбора пожертвований, развернутой леди Люси Хьюстон. У компании "Supermarine" не было возможностей подготовить новый самолет, поэтому доработкам подвергли S.6, оснастив его 2350-сильным (1752 кВт) вариантом двигателя Rolls-Royce "R". Названный S.6B, самолет, пилотируемый флайт-лейтенантом Дж.Н. Бутманом, продемонстрировал в Калшоте рекордную скорость 547,31 км/ч. Завоеванный в третий раз кубок Шнейдера навсегда остался в Британии. В тот же день, 13 сентября 1931 года, флайт-лейтенант Джордж Стэйнфорд, использовав резервный S.6B, установил новый абсолютный мировой рекорд скорости - 610,02 км/ч.
Благодаря усилиям "Supermarine" и "Rolls-Royce", конструктора Реджинальда Митчела и специалиста по топливу Френсиса Бэнкса, Великобритания добилась значительного успеха. Эта же слаженная команда сыграла важную роль в развитии британской авиации и в конце 1930-х годов.
