Savoia S.21

The Savoia S.21 is the fictional prototype seaplane used by Porco Rosso.

Technical Characteristics
The Savoia S.21 is armed with two forward-firing machineguns. The aircraft's fuselage is round and has a high wing with an engine on top of it. The wing is slightly swept back (made more swept due to Fio's overhaul) and is placed unusually forward.

Background
Porco's Savoia S.21 was an experimental aircraft appropriated by Porco after the First World War. He decided to overhaul the plane and painted it crimson red. This original design is based on the Savoia S.21.

Trivia

 * Savoia S.21 was modelled after, an Italian racing flying boat built by SIAI for the 1921 Schneider Trophy race. However, it does not closely resemble the real S.21.
