Yes, is a canard fighter! The first one to fly. And one of the first with a retractable nosewheel undercarriage, the single-seat S.S.4 designed by Ing Sergio Stefanutti and built by the Societa Aeronautica Italiana Ing A Ambrosini was among the most innovative warplanes of its time. Of all-metal construction and powered by a 960hp liquid-cooled Isotta-Fraschini Asso XI R.C.40 engine driving a threebladed variable-pitch pusher propeller, the S.S.4 had a proposed armament of one 30mm and twin 20mm cannon. Defective construction causes an aileron separation at the second flight.

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.
