The Blackburn Firebrand was a British single-engine strike fighter for the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy, designed during the Second World War by Blackburn Aircraft. Blackburn tendered the B-37 design using the 24-cylinder H-type Napier Sabre engine, and it was accepted by June 1940. It was intended as a pure fighter, but its unimpressive performance and the priority given to Hawker Typhoon production for Sabre engines caused a redesign with a different engine as a strike fighter to exploit its load-carrying ability. The unarmed first prototype flew on 27 February 1942. Development was slow and the first production aircraft was delivered only after the war ended. Only a few hundred were built before the type left front-line service in 1953.
