Więcej informacji:

The Savoia Marchetti S.55 was a twin-hulled flying boat designed and built by the Italian company Savoia Marchetti in the 1920s and 1930s. It was one of the most successful and innovative aircraft of its time, setting numerous speed, distance and altitude records. The S.55 had a distinctive design with two hulls joined by a central wing section that also housed the engines and the cockpit. The two hulls provided stability and buoyancy on water, while the wing section provided lift and thrust. The S.55 was powered by two Isotta Fraschini Asso engines mounted in tandem on a single strut above the wing. The engines drove two tractor propellers at the front and two pusher propellers at the rear. The S.55 had a crew of five: a pilot, a co-pilot, a radio operator, a mechanic and a navigator. The S.55 could also carry up to 12 passengers or a payload of up to 1,800 kg.
The S.55 was first flown in 1924 and entered service with the Italian Air Force and Navy in 1927. It was also used by several other countries, including Brazil, Spain, Portugal and Romania. The S.55 was mainly used for long-range flights, reconnaissance missions and maritime patrol. It was also involved in some notable aviation feats, such as the first transatlantic flight from Europe to South America in 1927, the first round-the-world flight by an Italian crew in 1929, and the first non-stop flight from Italy to Chicago in 1933. The S.55 was praised for its reliability, performance and versatility, and was considered a masterpiece of Italian aviation engineering. The S.55 remained in service until the early 1940s, when it was replaced by more modern aircraft.
