Gloster's chief designer, H.P. Folland conducted a detailed examination of the Gauntlet design with the purpose of improving main performances. Gauntlets wings with two-bay units were changed into the single-bay units with strengthened main spars, landing gear was also redesigned -- internally-sprung wheel assemblies mounted on cantilever struts. New plane was equipped with more powerful Bristol Mercury VIS engine, armament increased up to four machine guns (two-in fuselage, two-under the lower wings). Prototype of the new fighter with factory designations SS.37 was tested in September 1934 and reached maximum speed of 242 mph (389 km/h). Air Ministry issued Specification F.14/35 and ordered 23 aircrafts of this type which soon received its own name - Gladiator. Mass-production fighters had more powerful Mercury IX engine, enclosed cockpit, revised tail unit. In total, 231 Gladiator Mk I were delivered to the RAF.
