The Caproni Ca.124 was an Italian reconnaissance and bombing seaplane from the 1930s, featuring a single engine.
Design
This aircraft was designed as a cantilever mid-wing monoplane with a combination of materials in its structure. The fuselage exhibited corrugated skinning, while the tail assembly was conventional and cantilevered, with the horizontal stabilizer positioned midway along the fuselage height. The cockpit for the pilot was located ahead of the wing's leading edge. As a floatplane, it utilized metal pontoons, each secured to the wings by pairs of laterally oriented N-shaped struts.
Its propulsion came from a supercharged, water-cooled, upright V-12 engine—the 900 hp (670 kW) Isotta Fraschini Asso XI.RC15—capable of sustaining power up to an altitude of 1,500 meters (4,920 feet). The bomb load was housed within the fuselage beneath the wing structure.
