Description
Savoia-Marchetti S.55X (1:1 Scale)

The Savoia-Marchetti S.55 was a double-hulled flying boat produced in Italy, beginning in 1924. Shortly after its introduction, it began setting records for speed, payload, altitude and range.

You can spawn it using edited workbench for docks or using beaching gear (wheel cart) for hangars. Also you can spawn it anywhere using mission editor. How to spawn workshop creations through a mission



The Italian Air Marshall of the time, Italo Balbo, became famous for organizing a squadron of S.55s for Atlantic crossings, culminating in his 1933 flight with 24 aircraft to Chicago's Century of Progress International Exposition. On 1 July 1933, General Balbo commanded a flight of S-55s from Orbetello, Italy, completing the flight in just over 48 hours, maintaining a tight "V" formation. These large fleets of aircraft were sometimes called a "Balbo".

Nice - good update to one of my favorite sea planes.

Update 5 Feb 2024;

- Interior revamp: non-electric doors, streamlined walls, lots of inventory equipments, toilet
- Physics flooder optimizations
- Reduced number of sub-bodies for physics optimization
- Anchor update with newer winch
- Engine revamp for more realistic look
- Hull and tail revamp which fixed gap in body issue
- Fixed nose-diving issue by fast acceleration, by using new (light) rotors as propellers
- Improved flight controls; pitch, roll and waypoint hold
- Added gas relief valves to fuel tanks, passenger compartments and cockpit to prevent suffocating
- Updated some of the button/switch labels
- Added rope anchors for docking
- Used SRB fuel exploit (-1000 mass) to lighten it up for preventing flooding through doors by sitting low on water due to removal of pivots and increased weight.
- Thumbnail and 3d model update in Sketcfab

TheBigSad,
Yes, wind speed in Stormworks can reach 40 m/s which is more than enough for airplanes with large wings to fly.

In full wind it hovers mid air pointing in the wind, I found this out trying to land and just it not going down even at 0 throttle lol.

Thanks for comments

@Akaya.Kaito,
It's quite old and I have some other old airplanes too. I should start updating them soon or later but making new ones are usually more enjoyable.

really nice plane. but can you add some tools like first aid kits or a welder? The lavatory might be a good place for that
