==Supermarine aircraft== Initially, the company had no system for naming projects with a structured system only coming into use just prior to the company being purchased by Vickers-Armstrongs. The new owners imposed the Vickers' system where once a new project was approved for further work a Type number was allocated. Vickers initially assigned a block of Type numbers from 178 to 190 to Supermarine.{{sfn|Pegram|2016|p=98}} * [[Pemberton-Billing P.B.1]] (1914) * Pemberton-Billing P.B.7 * [[Pemberton-Billing P.B.9]] * [[Pemberton-Billing P.B.23]] β A single-seater pusher biplane. * [[Pemberton-Billing P.B.25]] (1915) β A revised version of the P.B.23. * Pemberton-Billing P.B.29 * [[AD Flying Boat]] (1916) * [[AD Navyplane]] (1916) * [[Supermarine Nighthawk]] (1917) β Anti-[[Zeppelin]] fighter aircraft. * [[Supermarine Baby]] (1917) β Single-seater fighter flying boat. * [[Supermarine Sea Lion I]] (1919) β [[Schneider race]] flying boat. * [[Supermarine Sea Lion II|Supermarine Sea Lion II and III]] (1922) * [[AD Flying Boat|Supermarine Channel]] (1919) β Civil version of the [[AD Flying Boat]]. * [[Supermarine Scylla]] early (1920s) * [[Supermarine Sea Urchin]] early (1920s) * [[Supermarine Commercial Amphibian]] (1920) * [[Supermarine Sea King]] (1920) β Single-seater fighter flying boat. * [[Supermarine Seagull (1921)]] β Amphibian Fleet Spotter. * [[Supermarine Seal II]] (1921) * [[Supermarine Sea Eagle]] (1923) β Civil amphibian flying boat. * [[Supermarine Scarab]] (1924) β Military version of Sea Eagle. * [[Supermarine Sheldrake]] * [[Supermarine Swan]] (1924) β Experimental amphibian. * [[Supermarine Sparrow]] (1924) β Two-seater ultralight. * [[Supermarine Southampton]] (1925) β Flying boat. * [[Supermarine S.4]] (1925) β Schneider Trophy race seaplane. * [[Supermarine S.5]] (1927) β Schneider Trophy race seaplane. * [[Supermarine Nanok]] (1927) * [[Supermarine Solent]] (1927) * [[Supermarine Seamew]] (1928) β Twin-engined flying boat. * [[Supermarine S.6]] (1929) β Schneider Trophy race seaplane. * Type 171 Southampton X (1928) [[File:Supermarine Air-Yacht.jpg|thumb|Supermarine Air-Yacht]] * [[Supermarine Air Yacht]] (1931) β Six-passenger flying boat. * [[Supermarine Type 179]] (1931) β Six-engine transport flying-boat. * [[Supermarine S.6|Supermarine S6A]] β Refurbished S.6 with new floats. * [[Supermarine S.6B]] (1931) β Schneider Trophy race (first aircraft over 400 mph) * [[Supermarine Scapa]] (1932) β Flying boat. * Supermarine Seagull V β Amphibian fleet spotter. * [[Supermarine Stranraer]] (1932) β General-purpose flying boat. * [[Supermarine Walrus]] (1933) β Amphibian fleet spotter. * [[Supermarine Type 224]] (1934) β Unsuccessful design for a fighter aircraft to Air Ministry specification F.7/30. * [[Supermarine Spitfire]] (1936) β Single-seat fighter. * [[Supermarine Seafire]] (1941) β Single-seater carrier-based fighter version of the Spitfire. * [[Supermarine Sea Otter]] (1938) β Flying boat. * [[Supermarine Type 322|Type 322]] also S.24/37 (1939) β Naval Dive-Bomber prototype.
