The Breda A.8 was a twin-engine biplane prototype created by Società Italiana Ernesto Breda in 1927, intended for night bombing missions.
Design and development
Conceived as an enhanced version of the Breda A.3, the A.8 sought to address the shortcomings found in its predecessor. Initial trials equipped the aircraft with two 440 hp (330 kW) Lorraine-Dietrich 12Db engines, yielding underwhelming performance outcomes. Subsequently, the design team installed 500 hp (370 kW) Isotta Fraschini Asso 500 engines; however, this change failed to deliver satisfactory improvements, leading to the project's termination.
