In late 1911, the Ca.10 and Ca.11 (Cm.5) monoplanes, designed by engineer Giovanni Battista Caproni, were built in the Vizzola Ticino workshops. These aircraft represented a further development of the Ca.8-9 models, distinguished primarily by their power plant systems.
Design and Propulsion
The Ca.10 was fitted with a 35 hp Potenza engine, while the Ca.11 featured a 50 hp (36.8 kW) Gnome Omega seven-cylinder radial engine. This distinction in engine type was critical for their respective performance and capabilities.
Record-Breaking Achievements and Military Adoption
In mid-February, Enrico Cobioni, piloting the Ca.11, broke three national records for aircraft in its class. Thanks to this significant success, several examples of these monoplanes were acquired by the military, recognizing their advanced design and reliability.
