SIAI-Marchetti S.210

The SIAI-Marchetti S.210 was a twin-engined cabin monoplane of the 1970s, designed and built by SIAI-Marchetti as a development of the single-engined S.205. It was an all-metal low-wing cantilever monoplane with a retractable tricycle undercarriage, powered by two 200 horsepower Avco Lycoming TIO-360-A1B engines, one on the leading edge of each wing, and it had three pairs of side-by-side seats for a pilot and five passengers. The prototype S.210M first flew on 18 February 1970 and was shown at the 1971 Paris Air Show in a military-style colour scheme. An improved second prototype followed with more baggage space and larger rear windows, and a production batch of ten aircraft was built on that model.
