The CANT 10 was an Italian-built flying boat airliner developed during the 1920s. Featuring a traditional biplane configuration, it had equal-span, single-bay wings arranged without stagger. The passenger cabin inside the hull accommodated four individuals, while the pilot operated from an exposed cockpit. Its propulsion came from a single engine positioned in a pusher configuration between the wings.

Operational history

For more than ten years, the CANT 10 flying boats served Società Italiana Servizi Aerei, connecting various points across the Adriatic Sea.
In Buenos Aires, two CANT 10ter models were operated by TAXI AEREI, conducting flights over the River Plate. After one aircraft was lost due to an accident, the remaining unit was acquired by Paraguay’s government in 1929 for use by its Naval Aviation branch. This aircraft functioned as a transport during the Chaco War and was retired from service in 1933.
