Engines – Power
Saunders S4-A Jet Hawk II
Don R. Saunders tried in the 70s and 80s to offer a homebuilt propeller jet utlising a blower driven by an internal combustion engine located inside the fuselage.
The engine was a Mazda 300 hp which resulted in a five-bladed fan ejecting air at the rear of the fuselage.
Saunders ST-28
Saunders Aircraft Corporation produced 13 completed ST 27s and was beginning work on its all new ST 28, a commuter/taxi aircraft designed to meet FAR 25 for the U.S. market. In December 1975, the first production airplane flew; almost at the same time, Manitoba withdrew funding.
Saunders ST-27A
Saunders Aircraft Corporation in Canada flew the ST-27A prototype (CF-FYBM-X) for the proposed ST28 on 18 July 1974. The ST-27A was a lengthened fuselage conversion of the de Havilland D.H.114 Heron with turboprop powerplant, but production ST-28s were intended to be newly-built; because of financial problems no series aircraft were manufactured. Saunders Aircraft Corporation produced 13 completed ST 27s.
The Heron has been stretched by 8 ft 6 in (2.59 m) to carry 24 passengers, and re engined with two PT6A 27 turboprops instead of four Gipsy Queen piston engines.
Saulnier 1910 Monoplane
Raymond Saulnier did design work on the Blériot VIII and XI (the famous Channel machine). Some sources say he did most or all of the designing of the Type XI. He then started his own aeroplane construction firm at Courbevoie. His monoplane – which looks like a development of the Blériot XI – was an excellent flyer. The pilot was seated low in the completely open fuselage, a great difference with the Blériot. The machine was fitted with a two-cylinder Darracq engine and later with an Anzani 3-cylinder. The machine was mostly piloted by Emile Duval.

Saul Triad
The sole Triad 1000 (ATC 2-229) of 1930 was registered NX/NC808M c/n 1001.
It was reportedly scrapped in 1936 after its motors were traded for a new Porterfield. Assets of the corporation were liquidated in 1939 after the death of Irving Saul in 1933, but several accounts indicate that the aircraft was still operational long after that time.
