Mortimer Powered Singer Solent Sopwith 100hp
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the Sopwith Bat Boat I, a remarkable flying boat designed by the visionary British aviation pioneer, Mortimer Singer, in 1913. Powered by a 100hp Green engine, this innovative aircraft is soaring gracefully above the tranquil waters of the Solent. The Sopwith Bat Boat I was a significant departure from conventional aircraft design of the time, as it was not only an airplane but also a watercraft, making it a versatile transport solution for the early 20th century. Its sleek, bat-like wings and hull design were inspired by the natural world, reflecting the fascination with avian flight that drove the aviation industry forward. This photograph, taken in 1913, captures the essence of the pioneering spirit that characterized the early days of aviation, as engineers and inventors pushed the boundaries of what was possible in both air and water travel. The Sopwith Bat Boat I remains an enduring symbol of the ingenuity and innovation that continues to drive the aviation industry to this day.
