CP-110

In 1951, Agusta developed a light four-seater aircraft, hoping it would find both military and civilian applications. The CP-110 prototype, also known as the Preti P.110 or Politecnico P.110, was created in the experimental workshops of the Milan Technical School.

Design and Structure

The all-wood CP-110, with its plywood skin, was a conventional low-wing monoplane featuring retractable tricycle landing gear. The pilot and three passengers were accommodated in an enclosed cabin with separate front seats, dual controls, and a rear seat for two passengers.

Powerplant

The powerplant consisted of an inverted (cylinder heads facing down) air-cooled Alfa Romeo 110ter inline engine.

Operational Evaluation

Following a series of test flights, the CP-110 was evaluated by the Italian Air Force at the Guidonia test center, near Rome.
