The SIAI S.22 was an Italian racing flying boat built by Societa Idrovolanti Alta Italia for the 1921 Schneider Trophy race. It was a single-seat, twin-engine biplane flying boat. Its two 224 kW Isotta Fraschini V.6bis engines were mounted on eight struts above the hull and below the upper wing, one driving a tractor propeller and the other a pusher propeller. During test flights over Lake Maggiore before the 1921 races the S.22 crashed into the lake, which ended any hope that it would represent Italy in the contest. Its only operator was the Kingdom of Italy, and it was one of several SIAI racing seaplanes built for the Schneider Trophy in the early 1920s.
