[edit] Development

The S.210 was developed from the single-engined S.205 and was an all-metal low-wing cantilever monoplane with a retractable tricycle landing gear. It was powered by two 200hp (149kW) Avco Lycoming TIO-360-A1B engine, one mounted on the leading edge of each wing. It had three pairs of side-by-side seats for one pilot and five passengers. The prototype first flew on 18 February 1970 and this was followed by an improved second-prototype with increased baggage capacity, enlarged rear windows. A production batch of ten aircraft were built based on the second prototype.
