Sikorsky moved to France in March 1918 and soon met with officers of the ''Armée de l'Air'' who asked him to design an aircraft capable of carrying a new 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) bomb. Although the aircraft was initially designed to be powered by two Liberty L-12 engines, the technical section of the ''Armée de l'Air'' suggested using four Hispano-Suiza 8 engines instead.<ref name=igo>{{cite book |last=Finne|first=K.N.|title=Igor Sikorsky: The Russian Years |year=1987|publisher=Smithsonian Institution Press|location=Washington, D.C.|isbn=0-87474-274-9|page=161|others=translated and adapted by Von Hardesty; Carl J.

The French ordered five examples and preparations were made to start construction, but the order was cancelled when World War I ended and no S-28s were completed.<ref name=igo/><ref name=winged/>
