The Short S.41 was a British single-engined biplane built for the Royal Naval Air Service in 1912. Capable of being operated either on wheels or floats, it was successful enough for a further two similar aircraft to be built, with the type remaining in use until the early years of the First World War.In 1912, the Short S.36 biplane, built for the pioneer aviator Frank Maclean, was loaned to the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) for use at its Naval Flying School. Impressed by the S.36, the RNAS ordered two similar tractor biplanes capable of operating on either wheeld or floats, the smaller Short S.45, like the S.36, powered by a 70 hp (52 kW) Gnome, and the larger Short S.41 powered by a 10-cylinder, two row 100 hp (75 kW) Gnome rotary engine.
