Caproni Campini N1: The History of Italy's First Jet
A Technological Pioneer
The Caproni Campini N1, also known as the CC2, was a groundbreaking experimental jet aircraft developed by the Italian aircraft manufacturer Caproni in the 1930s. It was the second jet aircraft in the world, following the German Heinkel He 178.
Design and Development
The CC2 featured a unique design, powered by a combination of a piston engine driving a compressor, which in turn supplied compressed air to a single jet engine. This innovative propulsion system allowed the aircraft to achieve speeds of up to 370 mph (600 km/h).
