Short. Самолеты 1909-1914 годов
<...>
В 1911-1913 годах "Short Brothers" построила несколько двухдвигательных бипланов, первым из которых был S.39 Triple Twin с двумя 50-сильными (37-кВт) ПД Gnome, установленными по концам гондолы пилота. Передний двигатель через цепную передачу приводил два тянущих винта на крыле, а задний - единственный толкающий винт. Биплан Tandem Twin, переделанный из S.27, имел более привычную компоновку с одним тянущим и одним толкающим винтами.

The Short “Double Twin” of 1911 had two rotary engines, with the pilot placed between them.
One of the most influential and yet least-known of British aviation pioneers, Frank McClean acquired the land at Eastchurch in November 1909 and gave use of it to the RAeC for a fixed annual rent of a shilling. Seen here is his modified Short S.27, known as the “Tandem Twin” or “Double Dirty”. -

As early as 1911 Short Brothers realised the advantages of more than one engine. The pictures show a Short biplane with two Gnome rotary engines, of which the rear drove a pusher airscrew while the front drove two tractors via chain gearing.
