Design and development[edit]
The S.19 was a single-seat biplane flying boat with its engine mounted on struts above its hull and below its upper wing. The 373 kW (500 hp) Ansaldo San Giorgio 4E-29[1] engine drove a two-bladed pusher propeller. Small stabilizer floats were mounted beneath the lower wing on each side.
Operational history[edit]
The S.19's engine was not ready in time for the 1920 Schneider Trophy race, and the aircraft did not participate.
