The Caproni Ca.350 was an Italian single-engined project for a two-seat fighter-bomber and reconnaissance aircraft of the 1930s, designed by Cesare Pallavicino to meet a requirement of the Regia Aeronautica. It was an innovative and fast design that was to have been powered by an Isotta Fraschini Zeta R.C.42 air-cooled X-24 piston engine of 930 kilowatts, but no aircraft were built. The projected figures give a crew of two, a length of 10.62 metres, a wingspan of 13.28 metres, an empty mass of 2,250 kilograms, a maximum takeoff mass of 4,399 kilograms and a maximum speed of 647 kilometres per hour, with a 20 millimetre cannon firing through the propeller hub and two machine guns in the wings.
