Caproni Vizzola Ventura

The Caproni Vizzola C22 Ventura was a light jet-powered aircraft developed in Italy for use as a military trainer.

It was of conventional sailplane configuration and bore a family resemblance to the Caproni Calif gliders, although the Ventura had an almost entirely metal structure.

[2] In 1981, Agusta acquired 50% of the C22 programme and proposed a new version, the C22R, which was to have been a reconnaissance aircraft also capable of Forward Air Control and ELINT operations.

The basic C22J trainer was exhibited at the Farnborough Air Show in 1980[1] and September 1982, but failed to attract any customers, and the proposed C22R was never actually built.
