#10 – 1918

 

Austin Osprey Triplane

 

This plane which was designed in 1917 tended to have two names, the Austin AFT3 or Osprey Triplane of which only one was made, it was intended to compete with the Sopwith Snipe. The Osprey was of wooden construction with fabric skinning, the six wings were interchangeable. A 230hp Bentley BR2 nine-cylinder rotary engine supplied the power. The armament comprised two fixed 7.7mm Vickers machine guns which are synchronised to fire when the blades of the revolving airscrew are not in line with the gun barrels. Also a one semi-free Lewis gun of similar calibre is mounded to the centre-sectionof the middle wing, to fire upwards over the top wing. The Osprey was flown for the first time in February 1918, but performance proved to be inferior to that of the Snipe, and construction of the other two prototypes was abandoned.
