The Bagalini Baganfibio (from “Bagalini” and “Amphibian”) is an Italian homebuilt flying boat that was designed by Marino Bagalini. The two-seat tandem amphibious aircraft was supplied in the form of plans for amateur construction.
The Baganfibio features a strut-braced high-wing, a two-seats-in-tandem enclosed cockpit, retractable conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration mounted above the wing.
The aircraft is of all-wooden construction, with its wings covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its 10.7 m (35.1 ft) span wing employs an RSG 36 airfoil and has Junkers ailerons. The aircraft does not use tip floats, but instead relies on sponsons for balance in the water. The acceptable power range is 40 to 50 hp (30 to 37 kW).
Full fuel is 26 litres (5.7 imp gal; 6.9 US gal) and the payload is 151 kg (333 lb).
The manufacturer estimates the construction time from the supplied kit as 700 hours.
Plans were available in 1998.
