Robiola Idromultiplano

The Robiola Idromultiplano was built by Doctor Attilio Robiola in Turin in 1912-1913.

His aircraft was a V-shaped in terms of six-plane, inside which was located the 80 hp Gnome engine with a pusher propeller. On each of the wings were “ladder” blinds which were supposed to control roll, pitch and course.

When tested at the local Mirafiori airfield in November 1913, the craft could only run on the ground, but it never rose into the air.
