Caproni Ca.193

The 1948 Caproni Ca.193 is a cantilever mid-wing monoplane powered by two 155 hp Blackburn Cirrus Major 3 engines driving two blade fixed pitch pusher propellers.
The cabin is forward of the main spar, giving appreciable sweep-back to the wing leading edge.
Construction is all-metal, the wing monospar with stressed skin covering. The fuselage is a monocoque and the dihedral tailplane has twin fins and rudders at the tip with statically and aerodynamically balanced trim tabs mounted in the movable surfaces. The designer was considering a single fin.
The cabin provides accommodation for five.

The only Caproni Ca.193 built was flown for the first time on 1947. The five/six seat pusher aircraft was displayed at the Venice Exposition.
