The CNT-II was a single-engine biplane flying boat built by the Italian shipyard Cantiere Navale Triestino (CNT) in 1924.

Design and development

[edit]

It was built to participate in the 1925 edition of the Schneider Cup. The CNT-II was powered by a pusher 465 hp (347 kW) V12 motor engine. Both aircraft sank during the flotation trials. Although recovered and sent for repairs, the project was abandoned.[1]
