The Caproni Ca.16 was a single-engine monoplane designed and built by Caproni in the early 1910s.

Design

The Caproni Ca.16 was a single-engine, two seat monoplane with a modern configuration, with elica traente. It was derived from the Ca.15, in turn based on the structure - initially derived from that of Blériot XI - that Gianni Caproni had introduced for the first time aboard his airplanes to starting with Ca.8, after the experiments carried out with the series of biplanes from the Ca.1 to the Ca.6Aeroplani Caproni – Gianni Caproni ideatore e costruttore di ali italiane[1]

The Ca.16 was realized in 1912. It presented the two separated and spaced places, as on the Ca.14 (while on Ca.15 they were very close and accessible through a single opening at the top of fuselage). On Ca.16 it was possible for the first pilot to arm or disengage the commands of the second pilot (or passenger).

Operational use

Closed-circuit records

The operational history of Caproni Ca.16 is largely linked to the figure of the pilot Russian Chariton Nikanorovič Slavorossov. He had presented himself to Vizzola Ticino, where at that time the workshops of Caproni and Faccanoni were located, in January 1913, to buy a propeller for his Blériot. Caproni already knew the skills of this pilot, who had seen flying to Vienna in 1912. He offered him a pilot test place, which Slavorossov accepted. [2] On January 24th, on board a Ca.16, he beat the world record on a closed circuit of 5 km with passenger, covering 200 km in 1 h 56 '30 ' '</ nowiki> and 250 & nbsp; km in 2 h 24' 30 <nowiki> '' </ nowiki>.<ref name=caproni1937/>[[File:Slavrosoff arrives.jpg|right|thumb|Slavrosoff arrives at Rome]]===The Milan-Rome raid===On February 23rd 1913, with the intention (colored in tones [[Patriotism | patriotic]], or even [[Nationalistic | nationalistic]]) to give an impulse to the Italian aeronautic industry, the vice president of the Italian aviation company Luigi Origoni and the general secretary of the [[Italian Touring Club]] and collaborator of the [[La Gazzetta dello Sport]] '' [[Arturo Mercanti]] decided to give away a prize for the first [[flight ]] from [[Milan]] to [[Rome]] made with an Italian aircraft.==Specifications==[[File:Caproni Ca.16 3-view.svg|right|thumb|3-view]]{{aerospecs|ref=Gli aeroplani Caproni – Studi – Progetti – Realizzazioni 1908-1935<ref name=caproni1937>{{cite book |title=Gli aeroplani Caproni – Studi – Progetti – Realizzazioni 1908-1935 |date=1937 |publisher=Edizione del Museo Caproni |language=it}}</ref>|met or eng?=met|crew=2|capacity=|length m=7.92|length ft=|length in=|span m=11.80|span ft=|span in=|height m=2.85|height ft=|height in=|wing area sqm=24|wing area sqft=|empty weight kg=365|empty weight lb=|gross weight kg=615|gross weight lb=|eng1 number=1|eng1 type=[[Gnome 7 Lambda]]|eng1 kw=59|eng1 hp=80|eng2 number=|eng2 type=|eng2 kw=<!-- prop engines -->|eng2 hp=<!-- prop engines -->|max speed kmh=110|max speed mph= ?|cruise speed kmh=<!-- if max speed unknown -->|cruise speed mph=<!-- if max speed unknown -->|range km= |range miles= ?|endurance h=<!-- if range unknown -->|endurance min=<!-- if range unknown -->|ceiling m= ?|ceiling ft= ?|climb rate ms=|climb rate ftmin=|armament1=|armament2=|armament3=|armament4=|armament5=|armament6=}}==References=={{reflist}}<!--== Further reading ==-->== Related entries ==* [[Caproni Ca.15]]* [[Caproni Ca.17]]* [[Giovanni Battista Caproni]]* [[Museo dell'Aeronautica Gianni Caproni]]{{Caproni aircraft}}[[Category:Aircraft first flown in 1912]][[Category:Caproni aircraft|Ca.016]][[Category:Experimental aircraft]][[Category:Rotary-engined aircraft]]
