Abstract
The Savoia Marchetti S55 seaplane is a symbol of the remarkable aeronautical know how reached in Italy during the '20s and' 30s, confirmed by a series of long-range record flights. Although about 250 aircraft were manufactured, to date not one flying example exists. Currently the only one remaining and preserved is exhibited in the TAM aeronautical museum in Brazil. In 2015 a group of competent and enthusiastic professionals of the aeronautics sector started the "Replica55 project" with the aim of designing, building and flying a replica of the S55 aircraft.
