The Bleriot-SPAD S.46 was a small French airliner of the 1920s, developed from the Blériot-SPAD S.33. Like its predecessor, it was a conventional biplane that seated four passengers in an enclosed cabin while the pilot and occasionally a fifth passenger rode in an open cockpit. The S.46 had a redesigned wing of longer span and a far more powerful engine. The type was employed by Franco-Roumaine, which purchased 38 out of the 40 examples produced for use on their continental European routes. In 1922 one of the S.46s, modified to use a more powerful Lorraine 12E Courlis W-12 engine was redesignated S.86. In 1929 this was changed to a Hispano-Suiza engine in the same power range and redesignated S.126. In 1925, the surviving 34 Franco-Roumaine aircraft were recalled to Blériot where they underwent remanufacture to incorporate various refinements. These refurbished aircraft were redesignated S.66. One of these aircraft was subsequently also modified to use a more powerful Lorraine 12E Courlis W-12 engine and redesignated S.116. ==Variants== ;S.46 :Single-engined passenger airliner, powered by a single Lorraine-Dietrich 12Da V-12 engine. ;S.66 :38 remanufactured S.46s. ;S.86 :One S.46 was modified when it was fitted with the more powerful Lorraine 12E Courlis W-12 engine. ;S.116 :One S.66 was modified with the more powerful Renault 12Ja V-12 engine ;S.126 :The S.86 was further modified again, when it was fitted with a Hispano-Suiza 12Ha V-12 engine. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blériot-SPAD S.46」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
