Giovanni Caproni, the creator of the aircraft, wore his leather helmet as he prepared for flight. Luigi Stipa, the designer, climbed onto the aircraft to pilot it.
"So what is this plane for, eh?" Asked Caproni.
"To demonstrate on how this thing works." Answered Luigi as he wrote down the flight controls. Caproni sat on his back as the plane was going to move. The cameraman then went near and started recording, while some people started watching.
The plane then taxis to the flat runway and then speeds up, and flies.
"This is so stable!" Shouted Caproni.
"How did you do this?"
"Intubed Propellers! They work well and increases the engine efficiency, also can minimize drag!" Luigi responded.
The watchers on the ground were amazed as the plane flew well. Some said this was futuristic, while others said it looked like trash. One person watching it was a Regia Aeronautica pilot, so he thought the plane would be a good idea for a fighter.
When they landed, the flight was celebrated. Caproni thought of making it a military plane, but Stipa declined, saying that it's only a experimental design. While they were talking, a man greeted them.
"May i help you?" Caproni said
"Oh greetings sirs, I am sorry for disturbing you two. My name is Adamo, and nice to meet you."
"Yeah and why are you here?" asked Luigi
"Well i'm an army pilot, and i just wanna say, Your plane would be good if it became a fighter."
He answered.
Caproni and Luigi agreed so they tried submitting the design to Regia Aeronautica.
A test pilot flew it and said it was stable, but nevertheless because of its size and speed, it was cancelled.
Caproni just sold it to a friend he knew as a light utility plane. Today, his friend's grandsons still fly it.
FACT CHECK
-The Stipa-Caproni's design would soon be used on jet engines like today
-top speed: 81 mph
