Caproni Ca.101

Initially planned as a civil airliner, the Caproni Ca.101 was soon converted to the bomber/transport role. The aircraft was a typical 1920's design. It had three engines, one in the nose and one under each wing, high wings and a fixed undercarriage. The fuselage, of quadrangular cross-section, was made of steel tubes covered with fabric, as were the wings and tail. The floor was made of wood.

A variety of engines were used, sometimes with a composite layout: Piaggio P.VII (276 kW/370 hp), Alfa Romeo Jupiter (313 kW/420 hp), and other models of 179 kW (240 hp) and 201 kW (270 hp).

Exports of the Ca.101 were made to Australia, China and Paraguay. Hungary bought 20 aircraft.
