Sikorsky S-32

The Sikorsky S-32 was an American single-engine aircraft built by the Sikorsky Manufacturing Corporation in 1926. It was a large single-bay sesquiplane with parallel interplane struts and bracing wires, a metal fuselage and wing covered in fabric, and three open cockpits, the rearmost for the pilot and two forward cockpits each able to hold two passengers. Power came from a 400 horsepower Liberty L-12 water-cooled V-12 engine. It was built for the Andean National Corporation to explore Colombia and served as a floatplane fitted with pontoons, with a stated top speed of 133 miles per hour and a four-hour endurance.
