The Short No.3 Biplane was an early British aircraft built by Short Brothers in the late 1900s.
History
The Short No.3 biplane was a follow-on to the company's earlier Short Biplane No.2. The aircraft was ordered by Royal Navy officer Frank McClean on August 3, 1909, and delivered in mid-1910. Although the wingspan is known, the exact configuration and powerplant arrangement are unknown. However, even before completion and flight-testing, the No.3 biplane was judged to be obsolete.[1][2]
