The CAMS 36 was a 1920s French flying boat designed and built by Chantiers Aéro-Maritimes de la Seine. It was originally conceived as a single-seat fighter but evolved as a racer to compete in the 1922 Schneider Trophy race. Lack of funds in 1922 and an accident in 1923 meant the two aircraft built failed to participate in a Schneider race.

Design and development

Originally designed as a single-seat biplane flying-boat fighter, the CAMS 36 was modified to compete in the 1922 Schneider Trophy.[1] Originally built with a pusher-propeller this was changed to a tractor arrangement for the Шаблон:Convert Hispano-Suiza 8Fd piston engine.[1] Twin vertical wing bracing struts were changed to a single I-type strut.[1] Although the racer proved to be fast in the air, lack of funds prevented the two aircraft from competing.[1]

For the 1923 race one of the aircraft was modified with a larger Шаблон:Convert Hispano-Suiza 8Fd piston engine.[1] The I-type struts were changed back to a more conventional arrangement.[1] The new variant was designated the CAM 36bis. On the day of the contest, the 36bis, piloted by Lieutenant Pelletier d'Oisy, collided with a yacht at anchor on the Solent and the damaged aircraft was prevented from racing.[1]
