The Roe II Triplane, sometimes known as the Mercury, was an early British aircraft and the first product of the Avro company. Alliott Verdon Roe designed it as a sturdier development of his wood-and-paper Roe I Triplane. Two examples were built, one as a display machine for Roe's new firm and the second sold to W. G. Windham, and the longest recorded flight made by the Roe II Triplane was 600 feet. It was powered by a 35 hp Green C.4 four-cylinder inline water-cooled engine and had a recorded maximum speed of about 45 miles per hour.
