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

[edit]

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

[edit]

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]
