The joint designers and builders of the CPV1 were a glider pilot, Amletto Zaneti and the owner of Aviamilano, Mario Vietri.
[1] It was built at the Polytechnic University of Milan's Centre for Flight (Italian: Centro Politecnico del Volo (CPV)), hence its name.
It had a long span, high aspect ratio, cantilever wing, which was straight tapered and had squared tipss.
It was built around a single main spar, with ply covering forward of it to and around the leading edge forming a torsion resistant D-box.
Inboard of long ailerons, which occupied about half the span, there were Fowler flaps and also mid chord spoilers.
