Notes
  1. Apparently only the prototype SF.1 was constructed.[1]
  2. The SF.3 was a ply-covered seaplane with the 220hp Benz, but it did not go into production.[1]
  3. Two SF.4s were built for seaplane competitions, but they were not selected for production.[2]
  4. The SF.6 prototype was an SF.5 with a strengthened float-strut system.[3]
  5. Perhaps only one of three SF.7s were built in 1917, but it did not go into production due to inferior performance for the time.[2]
  6. The SF.8 was a trainer seaplane. Beyond the initial three, an order for thirty was placed, but it is unsure how many were completed.[3]
