Sikorsky S-22

After the Sikorsky S-21 Grand had proved the basic concept, Sikorsky moved to the design known as the Sikorsky S-22 Ilya Muromets. The prototype S-22A first few in December 1913, and after several test flights it was converted to a floatplane for testing by the Imperial Navy. The second prototype featured more powerful engines an a somewhat smaller size and flew from St. Petersburg to Kiev and back. Seven "Type B" planes were built with various combinations of engines.

The S-23 Type V was the first model intended for the bombing role. It was smaller and lighter than the Type B. Roughly thirty-two were built, again with a wide variety of engines due to the lack of a dependable Russian engine supplier.

Four S-24 Type Gs were completed in 1915-1916 with various engines, and eight S-25 Type G2. The G-2 featured machine-gun stations through a port on the upper wing, aft of the wings on the fuselage sides, and in the tail.

Five S-25 Type G3s were completed from early 1916 to 1917 followed by three during the Revolution, followed by roughly four S-25 Type G4 in 1917.

Two redesigned, smaller planes powered by four Sunbeam engines were produced in the S-26 Type D1 and D2. The former was scrapped in 196 but the second was accepted and sent to the front in 1916, but the type was dropped in favor of concentrating on the Type Gs.

Three S-27 Type E planes were created near the end of 1916. They were the largest of the breed and included a crew of eight with five machine-gun positions. The prototype arrived at the front in early 1917. Five more were built during 1917, but they only saw service with the Soviet air force.
