context_page_description: The Sikorsky S-10 was a Russian Empiren military twin-float seaplane that served with the Baltic Fleet from the summer of 1913 to 1915. After Igor Sikorsky built the successful Sikorsky S-6 for the Russian military, he tried to build another successful aircraft for them. The S-10 was a modified S-6B built by the Russo-Baltic Carriage Factory. Approximately sixteen production versions of the S-10 were built. It had a less powerful engine and generally weaker structure than the S-6. They had either an 80 HP Gnome Monosoupape or a 100 HP Argus Motoren engine. Some were deployed on the world's first operational seaplane carriers.
