CRDA Landplane Prototypes & Projects

[hesham]

Hi,


the CRDA Z-1015B was a military version of Z-1015,powered by three engines
as a medium bomber aircraft,and the Z-1016 was a single engined derivative
of Z-1015.

Seems to be an interesting site, would be good to know, what is written there. Perhaps one of our
Japanese comrades could give a short translation, especially of what seem to be the part about the 1016 ?
"单引擎的 Z.1016 是源自 Z.1007 的另一个类似于 Z.1015 的改型。CRDA 在 1938 年 11 月 22 日提出了研制该机以打破国际航联英国维克斯公司“维尔斯利（Wellesley）”式飞机创下的远程飞行纪录。但并没有继续深入。"

As the Wellesley is mentioned, I would think, that the former engine nacelles maybe should be used for
carrying payload/bombs ? But as the Italians were clinging to 3-engined bombers because of shortage
of really powerful engines and as the drawing seem to show at least the same front engine, such a design
probably would have been grossly underpowered.

Thank you my dear Jemiba,


and the site has a small info about Z-1003,Z-1004 and Z-1005,but the google
translate is not enough.

Sorry I can't read Chinese.
How about following auto translation?
Chinese→Japanese→English
One 個 which only emits the engine source of Z.1016 and which will accept it Z.1007 is a model which similar Z.1015 repairs.
It took out putting in a row record of the long-distance flight as for which CRDA occurs and which this machine of development smashes international, November 22, 1938 cruises, and the airplane of the formula of "維爾斯利 (Wellesley)" of the British 維克斯 company makes.
However, it is not deep succeedingly.

 

[Jemiba]

Beg your pardon for having mistaken the script. But your translation already is better, than those into
German languagem which was complete gibberish. So, as far, as I understand, it actually was built for
a long range record attempt in 1938 ?

Hi!
It's Japanese translation. :-[
単にエンジンの Z.1016 源を発するのです Z.1007 のもう一つの個は類似します Z.1015 の直す型。CRDA あります 1938 年 11 月 22 日は開発のこの機械が国際を打ち破って航行してイギリス維克斯会社の“維爾斯利（Wellesley）”の式の飛行機の作る長距離飛行の記録を連ねることを出しました。しかし引き続き深くなっていません
Recently China use drastically simplified Kanji, so we can't understand Chinese.

How about this topic.

My guess for Z-1016 is as follows.
In 22th of November 1938, CRDA proposed to develop CRDA Cant Z-1016 to break Wellesley's non stop long range flight from Egypt to Australia in 1938, but this project did not progress deeply.

I'm asking if there is any photo of the CANT Z 1015 first version,
that is the one with a tandem cockpit placed on the tail, just before the fin.
This version was built and it made seven flights before undergoing an upgrade that led to the CANT 1015 with the rounded cockpit resembling a smoothed CANT 1007.

Hi!

I was able to find a comparison photo of the three-views of the flown CANT Z.1015 and the project Z.1015B:

Sadly, it appears that this side view of the bomber project is the only readily available visual of any kind. Does anyone have any other sketches?

Dear Friends!
Here I share a 3-view of the CANT Z-1015B.
Please take note about the source: Cant.Z. 1007 Alcione - Decio Zorini, Storia Militare Briefing, n. 41/October 2023 (it's a special iussue of the Storia Militare magazine).
Cheers.

As I knew before,the CRDA Z-1007bis was also called Z-1008 ?,
