The Canadian Vickers Velos was a Canadian twin-engined, float-equipped sesquiplane designed and built by Canadian Vickers Limited in 1928 for survey work. It had a length of 13.41 metres and a wingspan of 20.73 metres, with a maximum take-off mass of 3,592 kilograms and two Pratt and Whitney Wasp radial engines, and a maximum speed of 137 kilometres an hour. It proved difficult to fly and only one was built. The Royal Canadian Air Force is the only operator the article records for it, and the type did not go into production.
