Sarri Vampiro / Vampire
The Sarri Triplano named the ‘Vampiro’ (Vampire) was an unconventional tailless triplane design of engineer Sarri. It came too late to participate in the 1920 Italian ultralight competition, held in Taliedo (Italy).
A triplane, which according to the rules of the contests had to be less than 6,00 m, the engine was an Anzani radial, rated at 35 hp.
It was an unconventional design, with the wings set into a heavy stagger. The tail section had no elevators. The undercarriage had a two-wheel nosewheel and no tailwheel or tailskid.
Not ready when the contest started, nothing was heard of this machine and its designer Sarri since.
