Agusta CP-110 & CP-111

The Agusta CP-110, also known as CVV P.110 or Politecnico P.110, was a prototype Italian four-seat light aircraft first flown in 1951.

The aircraft failed to attract interest from either civil or military operators, although it was evaluated by the Aeronautica Militare (Italian Air Force).

Originally designed and built by the CVV – (Centro Volo a Vela del Politecnico di Milano), production aircraft were to have been built by Agusta, but for lack of interest.

Variants

CP-111

Designed by engineer Ermenegildo Preti and first flown in 1951.

 the Agusta CP-111 was a three-seat version of the CP-110.

 It also had a wooden structure with plywood sheeting.

From its predecessor it featured a fixed landing gear and an improved power plant with an Avco engine Lycoming 0-435-1.

But despite the installation of a more powerful engine, the flight data of the CP-111 deteriorated compared to the CP-110 with the same take-off weight.

The reason for this was the increased Due to the fixed landing gear and wider engine drag.
