Sikorsky S-35
__NOTOC__
The Sikorsky S-35 was an American twin-engined sesquiplane transport later modified to three-engines. It was designed and built by the Sikorsky Manufacturing Company for an attempt by Rene Fonck on a non-stop Atlantic crossing for the Orteig Prize.〔 It was destroyed in the attempt.〔
==Design and development==
The S-35 was designed as a twin-engined transport with a 1,000 mile range.〔 During 1926 Rene Fonck, a French First World War fighter ace, was looking for a multi-engine aircraft to enter a competition to be the first to fly non-stop from New York to Paris, the prize was $25,000 offered by Raymond Orteig.〔 Fonck had Sikorsky re-design the aircraft for three engines.〔
The S-35 was a sesquiplane with a fixed tailskid landing gear, it was modified to take three Gnome-Rhône Jupiter 9A radial engines, these modifications took time to complete and the aircraft first flew on 23 August 1926 from Roosevelt Field.〔 Sikorsky started a series of test flights but as none were at the maximum take off weight of 24,200lb, Sikorsky wanted to delay the transatlantic crossing until early 1927 but the promoters of the flight would not accept a delay and the aircraft was prepared for the crossing.〔
