Blackburn B-20
The Blackburn B-20 was an experimental aircraft first flying in 1940 that attempted to drastically increase the performance of flying boat designs. Blackburn Aircraft undertook an independent design study based on a patent filed by their chief designer J. D. Rennie. The B-20 was an attempt to combine the best features of both the flying boat and the floatplane.
