The Saunders-Roe SR.45 Princess was a British flying boat aircraft built by Saunders-Roe, based in Cowes on the Isle of Wight. The Princess was the largest all-metal flying boat ever constructed. The project was cancelled after having produced three examples, only one of which flew. By the mid-1950s, large, commercial flying boats were being overshadowed by land-based jet aircraft. Factors such as runway and airport improvements added to the viability of land-based aircraft, which did not have the weight and drag of the boat hulls on seaplanes nor the issues with seawater corrosion.

  • Le Saunders-Roe SR.45 Princess est un hydravion de ligne à coque décamoteur réalisé par le constructeur britannique Saunders-Roe. Le Princess est le plus grand hydravion tout en métal jamais construit. Il n'en fut produit que 3 exemplaires. Le projet a été annulé après avoir produit trois exemples, dont un seul a volé. Vers le milieu des années 1950, les grands hydravions commerciaux ont été éclipsés par les avions à réaction terrestres. Des facteurs tels que les améliorations des pistes et des aéroports ajoutés à la viabilité des avions basés à terre, qui ne possèdent pas le poids et la traînée des coques ni les problèmes de corrosion avec l'eau de mer. * Portail de l’aéronautique Portail de l’aéronautique * Portail du Royaume-Uni Portail du Royaume-Uni * Portail des années 1950 Portail des années 1950 (fr)

Factors such as runway and airport improvements added to the viability of land-based aircraft, which did not have the weight and drag of the boat hulls on seaplanes nor the issues with seawater corrosion. The project was delayed by difficulties with the Bristol Proteus engines. G-ALUN made 47 test flights between 1952 and 1954, including two appearances at the Farnborough SBAC Show. This work was carried out under a development contract for the Ministry of Supply, the intention being that this would lead to a contract for the aircraft from the flag carrier BOAC. Although the initial contract was successful, BOAC decided instead to develop land-based routes using the jet-powered De Havilland Comet. The three airframes were stored against possible purchase but when an offer was made it was found that corrosion had set in; as a result they were scrapped. (en)

Aufgrund der Überschreitung des Etats von drei auf elf Millionen Pfund, anderen technischen Schwierigkeiten wie zum Beispiel Problemen mit der geschwindigkeitsabhängigen Servosteuerung und der Tatsache, dass die Zukunft in der Zivilluftfahrt den landgestützten Passagierjets gehören würde, verlor BOAC jegliches Interesse an dem Projekt. Es wurden insgesamt drei Exemplare gebaut; die letzte Princess wurde 1967 abgewrackt. (de)
