SIAI S.9

Flying Boats and Seaplanes

The SIAI S.9, also called the Savoia S.9, was a reconnaissance flying boat manufactured by Societa Idrovolanti Alta Italia from 1918. Its wing structure was unusual: a single-bay biplane wing with additional struts mounted mid-bay at the junction of the flying and landing wires, so that it appeared to have a two-bay wing. The aircraft was also licence-built in France by CAMS as the CAMS C.9. It carried a crew of two and was powered by a single 300 horsepower Fiat A.12bis six-cylinder water-cooled in-line engine, giving a maximum speed of about 140 kilometres per hour. Its operators included the Italian air arms of the period and the Finnish Air Force.
