Only Westland and Handley Page submitted monoplane designs. The Ministry expressed a preference for an air-cooled engine [4] and all manufacturers apart from Armstrong-Whitworth and Blackburn chose the nine-cylinder Bristol Pegasus radial. The Westland PV.7 was a large, tall single-engined high-wing monoplane with separate cockpits for two crew.

The first Vickers design using this construction was the Vireo and the third, the Viastra, used a blend of Wibault and Vickers construction techniques. [ 2 ] The Viastra was envisaged as a one or three-engined commercial aircraft capable of carrying ten passengers and designed with an eye to operations in countries with poor surface transport ...
The Vickers Type 559 was a supersonic interceptor aircraft design by the British aircraft company Vickers-Armstrongs and was their submission for Operational Requirement F.155 in 1955. It was not accepted for further consideration; the most valued submissions being from Armstrong Whitworth and Fairey , however the F.155 requirement was dropped ...
The Type 151 Jockey was a compact and rather angular, low cantilever wing monoplane, built using the Wibault-Vickers corrugated skinned all-metal method as used on the Vireo. The unstressed skin was riveted onto a largely duralumin structure, a few steel tubes forming highly stressed members.
Developed from the earlier Wib.3 the Wibault 7 was a C.I category single-seat high-wing braced parasol monoplane fighter powered by a 480 hp (360 kW) Gnome-Rhone 9Ad radial engine. The main difference from earlier aircraft was the use of an all-metal construction system which was patented by Wibault.
In January 1915, the two units merged and were re-equipped with Caudron G.3s, but continued to operate the REP Type N at least as late as March. [ 2 ] The Type N also formed the backbone of the Ottoman Air Service in 1912, and these machines were used operationally during the First and Second Balkan War in 1912–13. [ 2 ]
