这 西科斯基 S-43 was a remarkable aircraft that combined the features of a flying boat and an amphibian. It was designed by Igor Sikorsky, a pioneer of aviation and the founder of Sikorsky Aircraft. The S-43 could land and take off from both water and land, making it versatile and adaptable for different routes and destinations. It was powered by two Pratt & Whitney R-1690-52 radial engines, each producing 750 horsepower. It had a maximum speed of 306 km/h and a range of 1,247 km.
S-43于1934年开始服役，主要由泛美航空公司用于飞往古巴和拉丁美洲的航班。它可以在宽敞的机舱内搭载多达25名乘客，机舱设有大窗户和舒适的座椅。它也被称为“婴儿快船”，因为它类似于更大的西科斯基S-42“快船”，飞越海洋。S-43也被其他航空公司使用，如夏威夷航空公司，Det Norske Luftfartselskap，Panair do Brasil和Aéromaritime。一些S-43也被美国陆军航空队，美国海军和智利空军购买用于军事目的。
这 S-43型 was a successful and reliable aircraft that served for many years in various parts of the world. It was also involved in some notable events, such as setting an altitude record for amphibious aircraft in 1936, surviving the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, and being owned by famous personalities like William Kissam Vanderbilt II and Howard Hughes. The last S-43 to fly was Hughes’ personal aircraft, which he used until 1970. Today, only one S-43 remains intact, a JRS-1 that is being restored by the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum.
