A reconnaissance flying boat designed for naval operations from water bases, the B.I featured a single engine and 11.8-meter fuselage. Its 180 km/h speed suited spotting and patrol work, while amphibious capability made it valuable where shore infrastructure was absent. The aircraft embodied practical naval aviation design.
