National originFrance
DesignerIgor Sikorsky
StatusNone built order cancelled

TheSikorsky S-28 was a proposed four enginebiplane bomber aircraft designed byIgor Sikorsky to be built in France duringWorld War I. Sikorsky moved to France in March 1918 and soon met with officers of theArmée de l'Air who asked him to design an aircraft capable of carrying a new 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) bomb. Although the aircraft was initially designed to be powered by twoLiberty L-12 engines, the technical section of theArmée de l'Air suggested using fourHispano-Suiza 8 engines instead.[1][2]

By early August 1918 Sikorsky's plans were completed and the project was approved. The French ordered five examples and preparations were made to start construction, but the order was cancelled when World War I ended and no S-28s were completed.[1][2]
