SIA Italia
The SIA “Italia” was entered in the 1913 Military Aircraft Competition. It was a monoplane and had a Gnome engine.
The aircraft made it to the final round which called for an ascent to 1000 m in less than 40min and 300 km of distance.
This was followed by a long-distance flight: Turin-Milan-Casale-Turin which stopped short of finishing at Romano di Lombardia. This aircraft successfully completed the first two parts of the competition.
The SIA was unable to complete the demanding requirements of the third part of the contest, ending short at Romano di Lombardia.
Known information includes a wingspan of 12.50 m; length 7.90 m; height 2.40 m; and wing area 23 sq m. The empty weight was 380 kg; loaded weight 675 kg and endurance was four hours.
