The Avro Type G was an early British aircraft from A.V.Roe and Company, designed to participate in the British Military Aeroplane Trials of 1912.

Design and development

Like the Type F before it, it featured a fully-enclosed fuselage, but was a biplane based on Avro's successful 500 which started out as the Type E. Two prototypes were planned, one with a Green engine, the other with an ABC. The latter engine was not delivered in time, and the second prototype was abandoned.

At the trials, the Type G was placed first in the assembly tests (erected in 14½ minutes) and the fuel consumption tests, but its poor rate of climb prevented it from winning an award. However, the Type G did later set a British endurance record of 7 hours 31 minutes piloted by F. P. Raynham at Brooklands on 24 October (a record broken only one hour later by Harry Hawker). Also, it was the 2nd British airplanethat is definitely known to have recoved from a spin.
