In 1951, the Agusta CP-110, also referred to as CVV P.110 or Politecnico P.110, took its first flight as a prototype Italian four-seat light aircraft.
Despite being evaluated by the Italian Air Force, the aircraft did not garner attention from either civil or military operators.
The original design was created by CVV (Centro Volo a Vela del Politecnico di Milano), with plans for production aircraft to be manufactured by Agusta.
However, due to a lack of interest, production did not proceed.
Variants
CP-111
The Agusta CP-111, a three-seat version of the CP-110, was designed by engineer Ermenegildo Preti and first took flight in 1951.
It was constructed with a wooden frame covered in plywood.
Setting it apart from its predecessor, the CP-111 featured a fixed landing gear and an upgraded power plant equipped with an Avco Lycoming 0-435-1 engine.
However, despite the more powerful engine, the CP-111’s flight performance suffered in comparison to the CP-110 at the same take-off weight due to increased drag caused by the fixed landing gear and wider engine.
