In 1930, the Caproni company introduced its new trainer aircraft, the Caproni Ca.104 A.A. This machine was a variant of the Caproni Ca.100, specifically designed for aerobatic maneuvers.
It differed from its predecessor, the Ca.100, by featuring wings with a larger wingspan and a more powerful powerplant. These enhancements made it ideal for demanding acrobatic displays.
Design and Purpose
The Ca.104 was a two-seater, single-strut biplane, equipped with a 240 hp Walter Castor radial engine. It also featured a two-bladed metal “Reed Caproni” propeller for optimal performance.
Technical Specifications
Throughout 1930, several units of this aircraft were built. This included single-seater versions specifically intended for aerobatic performances and competitions.
