Fairey N.9
The Fairey N.9 (also known as the F.127) was a British experimental floatplane of the First World War; only one was built. It carried out the first shipborne catapult launches from Royal Navy ships, and was later sold to Norway.
==Development and design==
In 1917 Fairey Aviation produced two separate designs to meet Admiralty Specification N.2(a) for a two-seat carrier-based seaplane for the Royal Naval Air Service, one powered by a Rolls-Royce Falcon engine, and a larger aircraft powered by a more powerful Sunbeam Maori. The smaller aircraft, usually known by its serial number ''N.9'', but also by its constructor's number F.127, flew first on 5 July 1917,〔Taylor 1974, pp. 67-68.〕 with the larger aircraft (serial number ''N.10''), the prototype Fairey III, flying in September.〔
N.9 was a compact biplane with single-bay wings of unequal span that folded back for shipboard stowage. It was fitted with trailing edge flaps on both the upper and lower wings. Power was from a 200 hp (149 kW) Rolls-Royce Falcon engine with radiators on each side of the engine.〔Bruce 1957, p.226.〕
Its performance was below the requirements of the specification, and no production followed.〔Mason 1994, p.88.〕
