The Bellanca XSOE was a prototype American scout observation floatplane built for the United States Navy by the Bellanca Aircraft Company. The prototype, designated XSOE-1, first flew in 1936. It was a single-float biplane with an additional float under each low wing, powered by a 725 horsepower Wright R-1820 radial engine, and it had an enclosed cabin for a crew of two. It was 34 ft 11 in long with a wingspan of 41 ft. The Navy never accepted it, and only the prototype was built.
