The Blackburn T.4 Cubaroo was a British prototype biplane torpedo bomber of the 1920s, built by Blackburn Aircraft and intended to carry a large 21 inch torpedo. It was claimed to be the largest single-engined aircraft in the world at the time of its first flight. Blackburn's chief designer, Major F. A. Bumpus, submitted it against an Air Ministry requirement, and it was a massive biplane powered by a 1,000 horsepower Napier Cub X-16 engine of 3,681 cubic inches. Avro submitted and then withdrew a similarly powered type of its own. The Cubaroo stayed a prototype and did not enter production.
