Английская Википедия:Caproni Ca.90
The Caproni Ca.90 was a prototype Italian heavy bomber designed and built by Caproni. When it first flew in 1929, it was the largest land-based aircraft then extant in the world,[1] the Siemens-Schuckert R.VIII having been slightly larger.
Design and development
A six-engined inverted sesquiplane, the Caproni Ca.90 was designed as a heavy bomber and first flew in 1929.[1] It had two tandem pairs of Шаблон:Convert Isotta Fraschini Asso 1000 W-18 piston engines mounted above the lower wing, each pair driving a four-bladed pusher and a two-bladed tractor propeller.[1] Another pair of engines was mounted above the fuselage.[1] Only one Ca.90 was built.[1]
Although the Dornier Do X flying boat that flew later in 1929 had a larger wingspan and weight, the Caproni Ca.90 remained the largest landplane until the arrival of the Tupolev ANT-20 in 1934.[1]
