The British Hovercraft Corporation SR.N3 was a 37.5 ton hovercraft originally designed by Saunders-Roe and launched in 1963, primarily aimed at military deployment. It was a military version of the SR.N2. Propulsion and lift came from four rear-mounted Bristol Siddeley Gnome gas turbine engines, which let the SR.N3 cruise at 70 knots. The Interservice Hovercraft Trials Unit, based at Browndown on Stokes Bay in Hampshire, tested the SR.N3 in a wide variety of conditions, including ice. It was the first hovercraft from Saunders-Roe designed from the start for military use rather than research or trials.
