The '''Savoia-Marchetti SM.105''' was a projected [[Italy|Italian]] four-engine military and civil transport aircraft of the post-[[World War II]] period.

==Design==
The SM.105 was initially designed as an improved version of the SM.104, but following the release of concepts of the [[Fairchild XC-120]] and [[Miles M.68]], the SM.105 was redesigned with a detachable cargo section with a capacity of 64&nbsp;m³ (2,260&nbsp;ft³). The [[cockpit]] was above the cargo bay. There were large doors both forward and aft. The useful load comprised eight horses and four assistants, or two cars. A civil version had 40 seats and a bar, with a fully glassed nose to "assure an uncommon view".

The most unusual feature of the aircraft was the detachable central [[fuselage]], leaving the cockpit in the middle of the wing, similar to the [[CH-54 Tarhe]] helicopter of the 1960s. However conditions in 1947 were not favourable to this new project.
