The Bristol Type 92, sometimes known as the Laboratory biplane, was built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company to address the differences between wind tunnel cowling models and full scale radial engine cowlings, and was designed as a scaled up version of a wind tunnel model aircraft. One flew in the mid 1920s. Bristol's chief designer Frank Barnwell had seen discrepancies between wind tunnel tests and full size aircraft in the Badger, and cooling difficulties had troubled later Jupiter powered types such as the Bullfinch and Ten-seater. The Type 92 gave the simplicity of a model, and any of several cowlings could be fitted over its Jupiter engine. Powered by a Jupiter V, it first flew from Filton on 13 November 1925.
