Hello again!

Indeed, I forgot to upload and post the Ca.309.

Fortunately, I did not forget to draw it.

:mrgreen:

And, as a bonus, a design that never made it to production status... although I am not sure if I posted them already:

Caproni-Vizzola F-Series

That should be all, I hope...

Nice! I'm curious about the F.6MZ, though. It looks like it may have an X engine?

Hello Ezgo394

Indeed it had. The engine was the Isotta-Fraschini Zeta, an air cooled (note the lack of a radiator) 24cylinder X engine, essentially a doubled Isotta-Fraschini Gamma with a similar displacement as the RR Griffon (I could not get any precise data, might be a little more or less), but only 1.500 hp designed power output (it was designed for 87-octane fuel rather than the 100/130 the Griffon used). In practice, even that could not be achieved due to severe overheating issues, and the engine was only good for 1.200 - 1.250 hp, That was not quite enough for 1943, and reliability rather sucked.
