The SIAI-Marchetti SM.101 was an Italian light transport monoplane from the 1940s, featuring a single engine and a cabin layout, designed and constructed by SIAI-Marchetti.
Development
The SM.101 was designed as a low-wing cantilever monoplane equipped with a tailwheel undercarriage, where the main landing gear was retractable. Its enclosed cabin accommodated a crew of two alongside six passengers. Propulsion came from a nose-mounted 235 hp (175 kW) Walter Bora radial engine. The sole prototype took its maiden flight on 20 December 1947; however, the manufacturer quickly determined that the market demand for single-engine passenger transports was limited. Consequently, they evolved this concept into a twin-engine variant known as the SIAI-Marchetti SM.102.
