Design

The Caproni Ca.10 was a single-engine monoplane of conventional configuration with tailskid undercarriage and cruciform tail unit, similar to the Caproni Ca.9 from which it was derived, differentiated by having a two-seats instead of one. The second seat for the passenger was placed below the cabane pyramid, forward of the pilot's seat.[1]
