The Savoia-Pomilio SP.1 was a reconnaissance and bomber aircraft built in Italy during the First World War.
[2] While the SP.1 shared the same basic configuration as the 5b, it was a larger and stronger aircraft.
[2] The pilot and observer sat in tandem in an open nacelle with the engine mounted pusher-fashion at its rear.
[2] This nacelle was mounted on struts in the gap between biplane wings, and a twin-tail arrangement linked by a common horizontal stabiliser was carried on booms that extended aft from the wings.
[2] SIA built the prototype at its factory in Turin, and while this was the only example constructed, it served as the basis for a number of follow-on designs,[2] the SP.2, SP.3, and SP.4, which were built in large numbers.
