The Bleriot-SPAD S.33 was a small French airliner developed soon after World War I. A great success, the S.33 dominated its field throughout the 1920s, initially on CMA's Paris-London route, and later on continental routes serviced by Franco-Roumaine. The aircraft was a biplane of conventional configuration whose design owed much to the Blériot company's then-recent fighter designs such as the S.20. Four passengers could be accommodated in an enclosed cabin within the monocoque fuselage, and a fifth passenger could ride in the open cockpit beside the pilot. One interesting development was a sole example converted by CIDNA to act as a blind-flying trainer. A set of controls was installed inside the passenger cabin, the windows of which had been blacked out. ==Variants== ;S.33:Single-engined passenger transport aircraft, powered by a Salmson CM.9 radial piston engine. 41 aircraft built. ;S.46:Improved version of the S.33, powered by a Lorraine-Dietrich 12Da engine. 38 built and sold to the Franco-Roumaine Company. ;S.48:A single S.33 temporarily re-engined in 1925, fitted with a Lorraine 7M Mizar engine. ;S.50:Luxury version with passenger cabin enlarged to six seats, fitted with a Hispano-Suiza 8Fb engine.
