Ted Jones (hydroplanes)

Tudor Owen ("Ted") Jones (died January 9, 2000) was a hydroplane designer and builder.

According to Tex Johnston, "Seattleite Ted Jones, a keen marine engineer, designed a revolutionary speedboat, the hydroplane, supported at high speed by two sponsons - streamlined, buoyant, lateral extensions - attached to the forward sides of the boat's wide, flat body.

The hydroplane was powered by an Allison aircraft engine identical to the one I modified for Cobra II.

He also designed several other unlimited hydroplanes that won the APBA Challenge Cup.
