The Bristol T.B.8, or Bristol-Coanda T.B.8, was an early British biplane built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company and designed by the Romanian Henri Coanda, with 54 built, mainly as trainers. Coanda developed it as a biplane conversion of his Bristol-Coanda Monoplane to meet a British Admiralty order, and it first flew on 12 August 1913, tested with both wheels and floats. It was a single engine, two seat biplane with two bay wings, a slender fuselage and a distinctive four wheel undercarriage, powered by a variety of Gnome and Le Rhone rotary engines of 50 to 100 hp. A small number were briefly used as bombers by the Royal Naval Air Service at the start of the First World War.
