The project for the light multi-purpose aircraft C-5 by the Italian aircraft manufacturing company Cantieri Aeronautici Bergamaschi (CAB) from Ponte San Pietro ended in another failure. Like the C-4, this aircraft was developed by engineer Carlo Maria Calligaris.
C-5 Development and Design
The C-5 was built in 1929, similar to the C-4. It was a two-seat, single-strut biplane with V-struts, equipped with an English four-cylinder ADC Cirrus Mk.II engine producing 85 hp (75 kW).
Technical Specifications and Features
The two crew members were accommodated in tandem cockpits, with a luggage compartment located behind them.
Operational History and Registration
The sole aircraft received the registration number I-BONI only in 1934 and was used for various shows until 1940.
