The SIAI S.19 was an Italian-built racing flying boat developed by SIAI intended for competition in the 1920 Schneider Trophy contest.
Design and development
The S.19 featured a single-seat biplane configuration, with its powerplant installed on struts positioned above the hull and beneath the upper wing. It was equipped with a 373 kW (500 hp) Ansaldo San Giorgio 4E-29 engine that powered a two-bladed, rear-mounted pusher propeller. Each side of the lower wing carried small stabilizing floats to aid water handling.
Operational history
Due to delays in engine availability, the S.19 was unable to compete in the 1920 Schneider Trophy race and therefore did not take part in the event.
