The Blackburn F.3, also called the Blackburn F.7/30, was a British single-engined fighter produced in response to Air Ministry Specification F.7/30 for a single-seat day and night fighter. Eight companies proposed twelve designs and three, including Blackburn Aircraft, received contracts to produce a prototype. The F.3 was a single-bay biplane of unequal wingspan with an unusual layout: the upper wing sat about halfway up the stressed-skin fuselage and the lower wing about two feet below it, the gap holding the enclosure for the condenser of the evaporatively cooled Rolls-Royce Goshawk III engine. It carried four Vickers machine guns. Taxiing trials began on 20 July 1934, but the short fuselage and high centre of gravity made it hard to manoeuvre and the engine had cooling problems. The Air Ministry withdrew support, and the Gloster Gladiator won the order.
