Design and Development
The Gloster Survey was a twin-engined biplane with a conventional landing gear and an open cockpit for two pilots and while a camera operator and survey camera could be accommodated in the enclosed cabin. The entirety of the front portion of the floor of the aircraft was glazed for so that three cameras could be installed.
It was powered by two 525 hp (392 kW) Bristol Jupiter XI engines, mounted on top of each lower wing. Provision was made in the design to take alternative engines including Armstrong Siddeley Jaguar, Pratt & Whitney Hornet, Lorraine-Dietrich 14Asc and Wright Cyclone.
