SIAI-Marchetti FN.333 Riviera

The FN.333 Riviera is an Italian luxury touring amphibious aircraft that Fratelli Nardi designed and developed in the 1950s and that Savoia-Marchetti, later styled SIAI-Marchetti, produced in small numbers in the following decade. It carried one or two crew and two or three passengers, and its pusher propeller was driven by a single 240 horsepower Continental O-470-H six-cylinder horizontally opposed piston engine. Listed performance includes a maximum speed of about 290 kilometres per hour at sea level, a range of 900 kilometres and a service ceiling of 6,100 metres, with a take-off run of 275 metres on land and 420 metres on water. One aircraft was destroyed in 1968 at Akron, Ohio, after losing engine power on take-off.
