[edit] Design and development

The CANT 26 was an unusual product of CANT as it was a landplane. It was a two-seat biplane with tailwheel landing gear and powered by a 60 kW (80 hp) engine. Only seven examples were built, one of which competed in the Challenge 1929 trials, and another of which was temporarily converted into a seaplane.
