The Blackburn Pellet was a single-engined, single-seater biplane flying boat designed as Blackburn's contender for the 1923 Schneider Trophy competition, which was held in Great Britain that year. The engine was mounted tractorwise above the upper wing surface in a streamlined nacelle, supported by a pair of struts between the fuselage and the upper wing. It flew on 26 September 1923, a day before the race, but it was destroyed while taking off for the trials of the contest, . It remains one of the interwar British attempts to build a competitive racing seaplane.
