The Fairey Barracuda was a British carrier-borne torpedo- and dive bomber used during the Second World War, the first of its type used by the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm to be fabricated entirely from metal. It was introduced as a replacement for the Fairey Swordfish and Fairey Albacore biplanes. It is notable for its role in attacking the German battleship Tirpitz and known for its ungainly appearance on the ground.

  • The Fairey Barracuda was a British carrier-borne torpedo- and dive bomber used during the Second World War, the first of its type used by the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm to be fabricated entirely from metal. It was introduced as a replacement for the Fairey Swordfish and Fairey Albacore biplanes. It is notable for its role in attacking the German battleship Tirpitz and known for its ungainly appearance on the ground.
  • The Barracuda Mk I had a Rolls-Royce Merlin 30 engine that was capable of propelling it at speeds of up to 337 kilometers per hour. This relatively low maximum speed came from the fact that the Mk I was severely underpowered and as such was quickly replaced by the Mk II which not only used a better engine, added an additional propeller blade for a total of four. Regardless, thirty Mk I aircraft were still produced during the war. Their operational range was around 1,165 kilometers while their service ceiling was about 6,500 meters.
