The Savoia-Marchetti S.71 was an Italian eight-passenger light transport designed and built by Savoia-Marchetti. The S.71 was a three-engine, high-wing cantilever monoplane with a fixed tailwheel landing gear. It had a crew of four and room for eight passengers. The first four aircraft were powered by three 179 kW (240 hp) Walter Castor radial engines, but the last three had 276 kW (370 hp) Piaggio P.VII engines.
