Breda Ba.46

[Jan den Das]

The Breda Ba.46 was a three-engined based on the Breda Ba.32 airliner something bigger and some changes to the wing (which?)
The performances would not be good, further ???
Who can help me with more information/drawings/history etc. concerning this project.

I only know that they build one prototype and that it chanched one from one type to an other type engine

Thanks all for the information.
The engines of the Ba.46 are later replaced by Isotta Fraschini engines.
The fuselage was basic the Ba.32, but it received a new designed wing.
Until now I could not find any drawing of this type of aeroplane.
I hope to contact people who could help me with the following: during the late sixties and earley seventies there were publications about aeroplanes of the Italian factories with the name: Aeroplani d'Italia.
So there were also publications of Breda and I think this could be very helpfull with the lesser known breda types.
Maybe some one knows someb ody who could be of any help???

I have ssen the Breda B1, the Ba 44 but not much more, while the Magni Aircraft and the Nardi were published both in the form of single booklets and of volumes...
