Sopwith Dragon The Sopwith Dragon was a British single - seat fighter biplane developed from the Sopwith Snipe . Design and development . In April 1918 , the sixth Snipe prototype was fitted with a 320 hp ( 239 kW ) ABC Dragonfly I radial engine . To compensate for the greater weight of the Dragonfly , the fuselage was lengthened by 22 in ( 56 cm ) . The prototype suffered persistent ignition system defects , but performance was encouraging when the Dragonfly engine operated properly . In June 1918 , the Royal Air Force issued a contract for 30 Dragonfly - engined Snipes , which were subsequently named Dragons . In late November 1918 , the RAF cancelled a production order for 300 Snipes and reordered the aircraft as Dragons . A second prototype was equipped with the larger 360 hp ( 268 kW ) ABC Dragonfly IA engine . This aircraft did not begin official trials at Martlesham Heath until February 1919 . It attained a top speed of 150 mph ( 240 km / h ) at sea level and achieved a service ceiling of 25 , 000 ft . Sopwith built approximately 200 Dragon airframes , which were placed in storage pending delivery of their engines . Difficulties with the Dragonfly ultimately proved impossible to resolve . Only a few aircraft were completed with Dragonfly engines , and none were issued to squadrons . The Dragon was finally declared obsolete in April 1923 .

Brazilian battleship Riachuelo Riachuelo was a Brazilian ironclad battleship completed in 1883 . She was named in honour of the Battle of Riachuelo in 1865 . Design . " Riachuelo " was built after the Brazilian Minister of the Navy , Admiral Jose Rodrigues de Lima Duarte , presented a report to the national legislature on the importance of modernising the Brazilian Navy by acquiring new battleships , with the intention to order two from British shipyards . " Riachuelo " was constructed by Samuda Brothers in London , being laid down on 31 August 1881 , launched on 7 June 1883 and commissioned into the Brazilian Navy on 19 November 1883 . The slightly smaller was launched in 1885 . " Riachuelo " was constructed with a steel hull , and was the first battleship with a compound armour belt , following shortly after the Argentine armoured corvette . Both " Riachuelo " and " Aquidabã " had an unusual design that became popular in the 1870s and 1880s : the two main gun turrets were placed off the centreline , " en echelon " , with the forward turret offset to port and the aft turret to starboard . The superstructure ran the full length of the vessel , higher than both turrets , with two funnels and three fully rigged masts . " Aquidabã " can be distinguished by its single funnel . These two modern battleships made the Brazilian Navy the strongest in the western hemisphere . It was argued that either vessel could take on the entire United States Navy , pushing the U . S . to increase its naval spending and build its first battleships . A similar design was followed by the and , launched in 1889 and 1892 respectively . By the time they were completed in 1895 , developments in battleship design made them obsolete . In service . When the Republic of Brazil was declared in 1889 , " Riachuelo " escorted the Brazilian Imperial Family to exile in Europe . " Riachuelo " and " Aquidabã " , the two most powerful vessels in the Brazilian Navy , were both in dock for repairs in 1891 during the first Revolta da Armada ( mutiny of the Brazilian Navy ) , led by Custódio José de Mello , which eventually forced the dictatorial President , Marshal Deodoro da Fonseca , to resign in favour of Marshal Floriano Peixoto The " Riachuelo " was modernised and rearmed in Toulon in 1893 - 94 , where structural alterations included the replacement of the three rigged masts with two unrigged fighting masts . " Riachuelo " returned to active service in 1896 , and led the so - called " White Squadron " of President Campos Sales on his official visit to Argentina in 1900 , accompanied by the cruisers and . Its last important mission in 1907 was to convey the Brazilian Naval Commission to take delivery of the new battleships , and . " Riachuelo " was deactivated in 1910 and put under tow to be broken up in Europe , but sank on the way .
Boeing XP - 8 The Boeing XP - 8 ( Boeing Model 66 ) was a prototype American biplane fighter of the 1920s , notable for its unusual design incorporating the engine radiator into the lower wing . Design and development . Boeing developed the prototype in 1926 as a private venture , with the goal of winning the Army Air Corps competition announced in 1925 . Designated by Boeing as its Model 66 , the airframe was basically a PW - 9 with an experimental 600 hp Packard 2A - 1500 engine . In order to streamline around the engine , the radiator was moved back so that the opening coincided with the front edge of the lower wing , resulting in an unusually narrow profile around the engine . Testing . Army testing of the aircraft began in January 1928 , and it handled well , but performance was lacking , achieving only a maximum speed of 173 . 2 mph . Even so , the prototype continued in Air Corps service until June 1929 , after which it was scrapped . The airframe design lived on in the Navy ' s Boeing F2B .
