Caproni Ca.14

Pioneer and Early Aviation Aircraft

The Caproni Ca.14 was an early single-seat biplane developed by Giovanni Battista Caproni in the early 1910s. The recorded specifications, taken from the history of Gianni Caproni and his aircraft, give a crew of one, a length of 7.8 metres, a wingspan of 11.8 metres and a wing area of 24 square metres. It weighed 435 kilograms empty and 685 kilograms loaded. Power came from a single Gnome 7 Lambda seven-cylinder air-cooled rotary piston engine of 60 kilowatts driving a two-bladed fixed-pitch propeller, which gave a maximum speed of 120 kilometres per hour.
