Gloster Gnatsnapper The Gloster SS . 35 Gnatsnapper was a British naval biplane fighter design of the late 1920s . Two prototypes were built but the type did not enter production . Design and development . The Gnatsnapper was a submission to Air Ministry specification N . 21 / 26 for a carrier fighter , which called for an aircraft powered by a Bristol Mercury II engine and capable of at least 160 mph at 10 , 000 ft . However , when the first available Mercury was delivered to Gloster in September 1927 , it was apparent that it would not be satisfactory since it failed to produce the expected output of 450 hp , was 160 lb overweight , and was moreover unreliable . In order to expedite flight trials , work was therefore started on a second prototype ( N227 ) which was fitted with a 450 hp Bristol Jupiter VII engine . The aircraft first flew in this form in February 1928 . More examples of the Mercury were delivered during that year and although the aircraft was flown using them , it was obvious that it was still not satisfactory and , having missed the N . 21 / 26 evaluation ( in which no type had been declared the winner ) , the aircraft was refitted with the Jupiter and delivered to the A & AEE for evaluation , which proved entirely successful . In 1930 , a new carrier fighter competition ( N16 / 30 ) was announced by the Air Ministry , for which Gloster were requested to re - design the Gnatsnapper to use the 540 hp Armstrong Siddeley Jaguar VIII . Designated the Gnatsnapper II , the aircraft was submitted for evaluation but was badly damaged in a landing accident before the trials had been completed , eliminating it from the competition , which was eventually won by the Hawker Nimrod . After repair , the aircraft was substantially modified to accept a 525 hp Rolls - Royce Kestrel IIS evaporatively cooled engine , with the condensers in the leading edges of the wings , this version being designated the Gnatsnapper III . It was subsequently used by Rolls - Royce as a flying test - bed for the ill - fated Goshawk engine , and ended its career as a company hack . A second prototype ( N254 ) had been ordered in May 1929 . This was first flown in the spring of 1930 , powered by a Mercury IIA . This is thought to be the airframe that had been abandoned in 1927 when the Mercury failed to meet expectations . Although an attempt to make this aircraft meet the requirements of N . 16 / 30 was made , the obvious superiority of the Nimrod caused Gloster to stop development work on the type .
