In 1911, George Challenger and Archibald Low designed the single seat Bristol Monoplane, powered by a 50 hp Gnôme rotary engine. Two of these machines (No. 35 and No. 36) were built, and exhibited at the Olympia Aero Show in February and in St. Petersburg in March. The monoplane tried at Larkhill, where it was damaged during taxi tests. It was not rebuilt, due to the more promising Bristol-Prier monoplane then under construction.
