Wreckage?

edit

Is the plane still at the bottom of the lake or was it raised and scrapped? --Ragemanchoo (talk) 06:00, 18 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Pilots Died?

edit

According to some sources the pilots walked away unscathed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.149.152.145 (talk) 20:28, 11 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Yes, the test pilot crawled out of the wreckage unscathed.WilliamBrain (talk) 23:53, 13 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Range?

edit

Isn't it a bit far fetched to state a range of 660 km, when the plane crashed almost immediately after take-off on its first test flight. One ought to put a "theoretical" mark to that statement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thandruin (talkcontribs) 20:47, 22 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Please compare with the italian version

According to the italian article of the wikipedia, the aircraft made two flights, not one, and never burnt.

Translated with google translate: " The damage that the aircraft had suffered in the crash were very serious , but the rear two-thirds of the fuselage and wings of the complex remained almost intact. However, the Transaereo had to be towed to shore from the point , in the middle of the lake, which had crashed . In the course of the journey (it was pulled by a boat , perhaps, was the same whose trail had interfered with the take-off ) the aircraft suffered further damage : the fuselage embarked plenty of water and ended up largely submerged , and also the two groups of hind wings are damaged , curl leaves and ending up partially in the water. The ability to repair the plane was rather remote , and after the incident had remained usable only metal parts and engines , and it was necessary to rebuild almost all parts in wood. [22] The cost of repairing the aircraft, according to the estimation of Caproni same , it would be about a third of what was the cost for the construction of the prototype, but it was not certain that the company's resources were sufficient for this . After an initial moment of despair , however, already Caproni March 6 he began to think about the changes to the project to be able to carry on ; convinced that the path taken was the right one to the civil air transport on a large scale , he decided to build a model 1:4 scale to continue his studies .

Translation from Italian

Hello everybody! Just to inform you that I'm working on a translation of the Italian Wikipedia article on the Caproni Ca.60 in my sandbox. It's probably going to take a while before I finish, but I guess there's no hurry. Cheers, --M.L.WattsWatts up? 23:58, 6 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Yay! I'm done! I'm opening a thread at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft to ask somebody to proofread the article (I'm not an English native speaker...) --M.L.WattsWatts up? 19:38, 8 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
