The Skua had an 890-horsepower Bristol Perseus XII engine. Its armament appears to have comprised four .303-inch Browning machine guns. The engine and armament were probably its main weaknesses. Improving both, with slightly more speed and range, would probably have made the Skua a very capable aircraft.
