Sikorsky S-16 Fighter

The Sikorsky S-16 was a small Russian fighter and escort aircraft developed during the First World War. It belonged to the early period of dedicated fighter aviation, when armament arrangements, engine performance, and production capacity were developing rapidly. Its limited numbers distinguish it from the mass-produced fighters of the Western Front. Designed by Igor Sikorsky’s organization, it was produced in small numbers and operated in a Russian aviation service dependent on varied domestic and imported types. Its compact biplane form contrasted with Sikorsky’s huge Ilya Muromets bombers. It belongs to early fighter development rather than mass interwar production. It accompanied Russia’s developing military aviation.
