TheCANSA C.4 was a single engine, open cockpit,tandem seattraining aircraft and tourer flown inItaly in 1942.
The last of a series of three CANSA trainer designs, preceded by theC.5 andC.6, the C.4 was the onlymonoplane. It had alow, straight tapered wing; noflaps were fitted. Theempennage was conventional, with thetailplane mounted on top of thefuselage. Theelevators were split so that the unbalancedrudder, which extended to the bottom of the fuselage, could move between them. Thefin and rudder together were straight edged and round topped.[1]
Thefabric covered fuselage was flat sided, with a rounded decking. The two occupants sat in separatecockpits, the forward one at the wingleading edge and the second close behind overmid-chord. The cockpits were open but fitted with windscreens and short sidescreens. The C.4 was powered by a 67 kW (90 hp), 4-cylinderinline,air-cooled, inverted CANSA C.80 engine. It had a fixed,conventional undercarriage with a tailskid.[1]
The C.4 was built as both a training aircraft and a tourer[1] but production numbers are not known.
