   Armstrong Whitworth A.W. 23: Designed and built by Sir W. G. Armstrong-Whitworth Aircraft, Ltd., the A.W.23 is a low-wing cantilever monoplane in which aerodynamic efficiency has been raised to a high degree of perfection. This has been achieved by suppressing all drag-producing excrescences, notably the undercarriage (which is retractable) and bombs (which are stowed inside the machine and not carried under the wings) There are enclosed turrets for front and rear gunners, and the pilot's cockpit is totally enclosed. The machine can be used alternatively for the transport of troops and stores, as a heavy bomber, or as an ambulance. The engines fitted are two Siddeley “Tiger VI” fourteen-cylinder radials of 760-810 b.h.p. each, faired into the leading edge of the wing. The span is 88ft. and the length 80ft. 9in.
