The wire-braced wings were of an unusual <a href="/wiki/Ellipse" title="Ellipse">elliptical</a> layout, with the maximum <a href="/wiki/Chord_(aircraft)" class="mw-redirect" title="Chord (aircraft)">chord</a> and thickness at mid-span on each side, tapering in towards the root.

The forward section was built from steel tubing, covered with <a href="/wiki/Duralumin" title="Duralumin">duralumin</a> panels. The exposed <a href="/wiki/Cylinder_(engine)" title="Cylinder (engine)">cylinders</a> were covered by streamlined helmets to minimise drag while admitting enough air to cool the engine, the helmet of the uppermost cylinder being continued back as a fairing which incorporated the windscreen and pilot's headrest. The twin floats, made of duralumin, were each carried on a pair of streamline section raked struts, braced by wires.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Operational_history">Operational history</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Short_Crusader&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Operational history"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The aircraft was completed by 18 April 1927, fitted with a derated engine producing 650 hp (480 kW) and wooden propeller for initial testing. Flight testing at Rochester had been prohibited by the Air Ministry, so after taxying trials it was dismantled and taken to <a href="/wiki/Felixstowe" title="Felixstowe">Felixstowe</a>, where the <a href="/wiki/High_Speed_Flight_RAF" title="High Speed Flight RAF">RAF High Speed Flight</a> was then based. </p><p>Initial flight testing was made by <a href="/wiki/Bert_Hinkler" title="Bert Hinkler">Bert Hinkler</a>, who asked Shorts to enlarge the aircraft's <a href="/wiki/Rudder" title="Rudder">rudder</a> area before he attempted to fly it. On 4 May Hinkler flew the aircraft for the first time, making a flight during which he achieved an average speed of 232 mph (373 km/h) over a measured mile. On landing Hinkler touched down first with the left- hand float, causing the aircraft to slew round, resulting in severe buckling of the float struts. Hinkler reported that the aircraft suffered from severe <a href="/wiki/Hunting_oscillation" title="Hunting oscillation">hunting</a> at full throttle, admitting that he had been wrong about the rudder area. The main problem encountered was intake surging, which caused the engine to cut out intermittently. </p><p>After repairs, restoration of the rudder to the original size and some alterations to alleviate the intake problem, Hinkler made a second flight, after which the aircraft was formally accepted by the RAF, and RAF markings and serial number were painted on the tailfin. The first RAF pilot to fly it was Flt, Lieut. <a href="/wiki/Sidney_Webster" title="Sidney Webster">S.N. Webster</a>, who reported its flight characteristics to be pleasant, although the engine still tended to cut out: this led to some alarming episodes when the aircraft was later flown by Flying Officer <a href="/wiki/Harry_Methuen_Schofield" title="Harry Methuen Schofield">H.M. Schofield</a>. During July a number of modifications were made: a new engine was fitted, together with a forged duralumin racing propeller, an additional fuel tank was fitted in the right-hand float to provide sufficient range to complete the Schneider course, high-temperature <a href="/wiki/Spark_plugs" class="mw-redirect" title="Spark plugs">spark plugs</a> were fitted and changes were made to the air inlets in a further attempt to cure the engine problems. </p><p>In mid August the Crusader was dismantled and shipped on <a href="/wiki/HMS_Eagle_(1918)" title="HMS Eagle (1918)">HMS Eagle</a> to <a href="/wiki/Venice" title="Venice">Venice</a>. Here it was fitted with the race engine, but since it was obviously slower than the other aircraft entered, it was intended to use it solely as a practice aircraft. On 11 September Schofield took off in the aircraft: since the aircraft with full fuel load was heavy on takeoff, he held the aircraft close to the water to build up speed. It is probable that the aircraft encountered a thermal caused by the hot weather, for suddenly the right wing lifted. Schofield attempted to correct this, but the control wires to the ailerons had been crossed during reassembly, so that the aileron movement was reversed. The aircraft continued the <a href="/wiki/Aircraft_principal_axes" title="Aircraft principal axes">roll</a>, and hit the water at a speed of 150 mph (240 km/h). The fuselage broke in half at the cockpit and Schofield was thrown clear, sustaining serious bruises but no broken bones. The aircraft sank into the lagoon and was recovered a week later, when examination of the wreckage clearly established the cause of the crash.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a
