The Breda CC.20 was a heavy bomber prototype developed in Italy in 1929 by the Breda firm.
Design and development
The CC.20 was conceived by engineers Ing. Gaetano Crocco and Ing. Giulio Cesare Costanzi, with the designation "CC" representing the initials of its designers. This aircraft marked Breda's initial foray into monoplane bombers. Featuring a trimotor configuration, the mid-wing monoplane accommodated seven crew members and was equipped with three 373 kW (500 hp) Isotta Fraschini Asso 500 engines. Its defensive armament comprised a single 25 mm (0.984 in) cannon alongside seven 7.7 mm (0.303 in) machine guns.
The prototype took to the skies for the first time in 1929, but subsequent flight evaluations revealed that it suffered from low speed and limited operational range, leading Breda to discontinue further development.
