The Caproni Ca.71, originally Ca.70L, was a two-seat biplane night fighter produced in Italy in 1927.

Undaunted by the lack of interest the Regia Aeronautica (Italian Royal Air Force) had displayed in the Caproni Ca.70-night fighter after official tests in 1926, the Caproni company designed a derivative.

Its two wings were of unequal span, and it had tailskid landing gear, an unusual feature of which was an oleo-pneumatic shock absorber on the main landing gear, which allowed the wheels to travel forward in their linkage while the plane was taxiing.

The lone Ca.71 built had a 298-kW (400-hp) 12-cylinder Lorraine-Dietrich Vee-type engine and was slightly heavier than the Ca.70, but otherwise was identical to the Ca.70.

At any rate, the Regia Aeronautica had no more interest in procuring the Ca.71 than it had in the Ca.70, and no further examples were built.
