The Martin SeaMaster & Convair Sea Dart It was powered by twin Metropolitan Vickers F2/4 Beryl axial-flow engines, an ancestor of the better-known Rolls-Royce Sapphire turbojet, with the exhausts in the upper fuselage behind the wing. The SR.A/1 was arguably one of the uglier aircraft ever built, with a classic flying boat hull and jet intakes in the nose, giving it a tubby and "pig-nosed" appearance. The first two prototypes were fitted with development versions of the Beryl, but the third prototype was fitted with fully rated engines, with a thrust of 17.1 kN (1,745 kgp / 3,850 lbf) each. www.vectorsite.net /avcmast.html   (3117 words)
