The Transaereo was unlike any other aircraft ever built. I have 8 engines, 9 wings, and a room for 100 passengers. And it would do what had never been done before. Fly passengers all the way to the Atlantic, where seafaring was done only by boat. But by 1921, the plane was still in its infancy, and this huge machine was designed to do the impossible.

For centuries, crossing from Europe to North America meant crossing the Atlantic by ship. In the 18th century, it took weeks of sailing to make this voyage. By the 19th century, fast and reliable leadership could make the transition in more than a week. By the 20th century, large, ocean-going vessels were able to cross the Atlantic in a matter of days. But after hundreds of years of development, ships have come to their limit. Crossing the sea would not have been so quick. And it was clear by this time that some were starting to look at new technologies. 


In June of 1919, two brave British planes, John Alcock and Arthur Brown, began flying across Atlanticin. From the fringes of North America on a massive WWI bombing, these pilots barely survived the fierce North Atlantic hurricanes, missile missions, and the arrival of a crash in Europe. However, they managed to complete the first nonstop flight across the Atlantic in just 16 hours. They have been accepted as heroes. But with disdainful success, the ever-increasing passenger aircraft crossing the Atlantic were at least 20 years old. Because in 1919, information about aerodynamics and the mechanics of flightstill was not completely understood. But an Italian aircraft builder named Giovanni Caproni could not wait. In the same year that Alcock and Brown made their first permanent crossing, Caproni was already in the process of building a large transatlantic aircraft. He called the big flying boat the Ca. 60 iTransaereo. While Alcock and Brown's plane was carrying only two pilots, the Caproni ferry was carrying 100 passengers and eight crew. These were not the numbers of 1919. And while Caproni has made a name for itself by building the first Italian aircraft and many successful fighter jets, many view his huge flying boat as a complete dream. But as pictures of the big plane appeared in the newspapers, the world began to take Caproni's wishes seriously. Because in many ways, he was an observer who had dreamed about the power of a large passenger plane. 


Especially in parts of the world where transportation infrastructure was not yet developed. But no one has ever tried to build such a large airplane. And Caproni's construction philosophy seems to have existed. taking whatever was known to work, and doing much more of it. Because with nine wings, the Transaereowas did not conform to the standards of the 1920s. And there were eight powerful engines available at the time, repaired with other engines pulling the plane forward while others pushed. Keeping a large plane together was more than 250 meters strutsand over two kilometers of fence. Inside Transaereo there were 100 passenger benches and large panoramic viewing panels. Flight performance can be a team effort. With two pilots in front in the open airspace, and two aircraft engineers sitting on top to use the engines. Communication, pilots and aircraft engineers can rely on a complex system of lights and signals. 


The Transaereo was an unusual machine, designed to usher in a new era of massive air travel. Transaereo conducted its first flightsometime test in February or March 1921. It was able to reach 80 km / h before taking a moment to lift the water. It's amazing how Transaereo can really go. But there is a reason why planes can be built with nine wings. Arranged in sequence, each set of wings disrupted the power of the next set to produce an elevator. And all the threads and threads of the cords produced a great pull. The Transaereo lifting station appears to have been taller than the size center, which stabilized the aircraft but made it more difficult to control. So you can guess where this is going. On the second test flight, things did not go so smoothly. By this time Transaereo had departed, reached 100 km / h and returned to the water immediately. Leaving a messy mess in the opposite. 


Suddenly, Caproni's dreams of transatlanticair were shattered. But even though Transaereo has been able to navigate through the air, it is not entirely clear how it should have crossed the Atlantic. At a speed of 130 km / h per hour and a distance of 600 kilometers, the journey from Italy to the United States would take days. Looking for at least a dozen petrol stations, many of which would have been in the middle of the Atlantic, where taking petrol from a waiting ship would not have been possible had it not been for danger. But Caproni firmly believed that massive flying was the future. And he had the right attitude, but at the wrong time. 


Because Transaereowas was a plane designed to do the impossible in 1920. And it could take another two decades before aviation technology arrived, allowing transatlantic passenger flights to begin in 1939. But ten years after Transaero, Caproni is back. In the meantime, it helps to design what many say about the worst aircraft ever built. But in many ways, Stipa-Caproni was moving forward with thinking. And some even say that the plane helped open the way for turbofanengines. You can learn more about what makes this aircraft so important in my latest video now at Nebula.
