Ambrosini SAI.2S

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SAI.2S
Type Utility aircraft
Manufacturer Ambrosini
Designed by Sergio Stefanutti
Maiden flight 1937

The Ambrosini SAI.2S was a four-seat light aircraft produced in Italy shortly before World War II. It was a low-wing, cantilever monoplane of conventional configuration with fixed, tailwheel undercarriage. It was produced in small numbers, and one example is extant in 2007, preserved at the Caproni museum in Trento.

Despite the similar designation, this design was unrelated to the earlier SAI.2
