SIAI S . 58 The SIAI S . 58 or Savoia - Marchetti S . M . 58 was an Italian flying boat fighter prototype of the 1920s designed and manufactured by SIAI . Design and development . S . 58 . In 1924 , the " Regia Marina " ( Italian Royal Navy ) issued a requirement for a replacement for its Macchi M . 7 " ter " flying boat fighter . To compete with the Macchi M . 26 for a production order as the replacement , SIAI developed the S . 58 . It was a wooden , single - seat , single - bay biplane with a hull based on that of the SIAI S . 51 racing flying boat which had participated in the 1922 Schneider Trophy race . The S . 58s engine , a 221 - kilowatt ( 296 - brake horsepower ) Hispano - Suiza HS 42 V8 driving a pusher propeller , was mounted on struts above the hull . SIAI proposed an armament of two fixed , forward - firing 7 . 7 - millimeter ( 0 . 303 - inch ) Vickers machine gun s mounted on the hull on either side of the cockpit . The S . 58 made its first flight early in the summer of 1924 and on 25 August 1924 set a world altitude record for aircraft of its type by reaching 5 , 831 meters ( 19 , 130 feet ) with a payload of 250 kilograms ( 551 pounds ) . SIAI built three prototypes , but the " Regia Marina " opted to save money by re - engining the Macchi M . 7 " ter " to extend its service life rather than purchase a new aircraft . SIAI did , however , build at least one more S . 58 , which the " Scuola di Alta Velocità " ( High Speed School ) at Desenzano used . S . 58 " bis " . SIAI later fitted the first S . 58 prototype with a 313 - kilowatt ( 420 - horsepower ) Fiat A . 20 V12 , redesignating the re - engined aircraft the S . 58 " bis " . In 1927 , the " Regia Marina " again held a contest for a replacement for the Macchi M . 7 " ter " , and SIAI entered the S . 58 " bis " . The " Regia Marina " found it impressive enough to make plans to procure 97 S . 58 " bis " aircraft , but these plans were cancelled when the " Regia Marina " again chose as an economy measure to extend the M . 7 " ter " s service life by re - engining it , and no production order materialized for the S . 58 " bis " . S . 58 " ter " . In the autumn of 1928 , the S . 58 " ter " , a slightly modified S . 58 " bis " also employing the Fiat A 20 V12 engine , flew for the first time . In 1929 , the " Regia Marina " again organized a contest for an M . 7 " ter " replacement , and SIAI entered the S . 58 " ter " . The S . 58 " ter " lost out to the Macchi M . 41 " bis " and did not win a production order . Specifications ( S . 58 " bis " ) . Notes :

Bristol Ten - seater The Bristol Ten - seater and Bristol Brandon were British single - engine biplane transport aircraft built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company in the early 1920s . Only three were built , two of which were used as civil transports and one of which ( the Bristol Brandon ) served with the Royal Air Force . Design and development . In 1919 and 1920 , Frank Barnwell , chief designer of the Bristol Aeroplane Company , considered designs for a commercial transport aircraft , ranging from single - engine , three - seat aircraft to four - engine aircraft carrying 10 passengers , none of which were built . Early in 1921 , the British government decided to provide subsidies for approved airlines , so Bristol ' s management authorised Barnwell to proceed with a design for a single - engined transport aircraft . It was intended to be powered by a Bristol Jupiter engine , but this had not yet been type approved , so the initial prototype was fitted with a Napier Lion engine instead . The Lion - engined prototype , the Bristol Type 62 , or Bristol Ten - seater , with the registration " G - EAWY " first flew on 21 June 1921 . The Ten - seater was a large , two bay biplane , with a cabin for nine passengers and a forward cockpit for the single pilot . The second aircraft , the Bristol Type 75 was powered by the preferred Jupiter engine , which was mounted behind a fireproof bulkhead , with the entire engine installation ( or " " power - egg " " ) capable of being swung open like a gate to allow easy access to the rear of the engine . The Type 75 was designed to accommodate eight passengers and two crew . This aircraft , registered " G - EBEV " , first flew in July 1922 . A third aircraft , the Bristol Type 79 was ordered by the Air Council to meet a requirement ( Specification 32 / 22 ) for a single - engined ambulance landplane for the Royal Air Force . It was fitted with wings of greater chord , and had accommodation for three stretchers and an attendant or two stretchers and four sitting patients . Operational history . The Type 62 had its Certificate of Airworthiness awarded on 14 February 1922 and was transferred to Instone Air Line for service on its London to Paris route , carrying both passengers and cargo . It was later transferred to Handley Page Transport Ltd . The Type 75 received its Certificate of Airworthiness on 16 July 1924 . By this time , Instone Air Lines had merged with the other three subsidised British airlines to form Imperial Airways . Imperial had a policy of using only multi - engine aircraft for passenger flights , so the Type 75 was converted into a freighter to carry 1 , 800 lb ( 820 kg ) of cargo , going into service on the London - Cologne route on 22 July 1924 , continuing in service until 1926 . A second Type 75 was not completed , and was broken up for spares in 1923 . The Type 79 first flew on 19 March 1924 and was delivered to the RAF , who named the aircraft the Bristol Brandon in 1925 . It was overweight at full load and did not go into overseas service , being used as an ambulance at RAF Halton together with the Avro Andover .
