Breda A.14

The Breda A.14 was a three-engine biplane prototype developed by Società Italiana Ernesto Breda in 1928, intended for use as a night bomber.

Design and development

Created to address the flight challenges encountered with the A.8 model, the A.14 was submitted to the Regia Aeronautica for evaluation. Equipped with three 340 kW (450 hp) Alfa Romeo Jupiter radial engines, the aircraft underwent testing in 1928, demonstrating enhanced performance compared to its predecessor. Despite these improvements, the Regia Aeronautica ultimately declined to adopt the design. In an effort to offset development expenses, a proposal was made to convert the aircraft into a demilitarized version suitable for civilian use; however, insufficient market interest led to the project's discontinuation.
