SIAI S.22
The SIAI S.22 was an Italian competitive flying boat constructed by SIAI specifically for participation in the 1921 Schneider Trophy contest.
Design and development
This model was a single-pilot, twin-engine biplane flying boat. It featured a pair of 224 kilowatts (300 hp) Isotta Fraschini V.6bis powerplants mounted on eight struts positioned above the hull and beneath the upper wing. These engines powered two propellers arranged in a push-pull configuration, with one propeller operating in a tractor configuration and the other in a pusher configuration.[1]
Operational history
While undergoing trial flights over Lake Maggiore before the 1921 Schneider Trophy competition, the S.22 suffered a crash into the water, which prevented it from competing and dashed hopes of its representation for Italy in the event.[2]
