Which British twin-engine carrier strike aircraft were considered around the Second World War?
Short answerThe Sea Hornet and Sea Mosquito are the clearest examples, within a longer Royal Navy interest in multi-engine carrier aircraft stretching back into the interwar period.
NotesThe panel reaches immediately for the Sea Hornet and the proposed Sea Mosquito, then notes that British naval aviation had considered twin-engine aircraft from roughly the late 1920s. Even a four-engine reconnaissance concept appeared, though its individual engines were small, showing that engine count alone can mislead when comparing aircraft scale and performance.
