The 9B began as the SIA.7B2 fitted with a much larger engine, the 521 kW (699 hp) Fiat A.14. The larger engine increased the aircraft's speed, but also its weight, resulting in only an overall slight increase in maximum speed.
The Italian Navy ordered 200, and received 62 by the end of World War I.
Fiat dropped its SIA name, and manufactured another 129 aircraft under the designation Fiat R.2. These aircraft served until 1925.[1]
