Description


The Machine:


A fully aerobatic, very-light Jet that compares to the Bede BD-5J, but heavier and sporting two instead of one TRS-18 turbojets. Up to Mach 0.47 and 650 NM of range, with a service ceiling of 25000ft. A low stall speed (for a jet) makes the aircraft good for short field operations.


Certified for VFR operations only, yet includes a good avionics suite.


This is a “Classic” aircraft featuring “Steam” gauges and radios. Yet, controls and systems are easy to operate.



The History:


The C-22J is the last aircraft to be adorned with the legendary Caproni name. Originally known as “Caproncino”, then marketed as “Ventura”. A very-light jet developed in the 1980s as a military trainer, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft. Powered by two TRS-18 turbojets fed from a dorsal NACA intake, the aircraft reached Mach 0.47 and was fully aerobatic. The airframe shows its origin in a glider design, the Caproni A-21 Calif. After the merger with SIAI Marchetti, the project was cancelled in favor of the SF-260.
