The CR.30 was a biplane with W-form interplane struts and a fixed tailwheel landing gear.

The impressive performance led to orders from the Regia Aeronautica (Italian Air Force) for 121 aircraft.

[citation needed] Two of the prototypes were converted into two-seaters designated CR.30B for use as refresher trainers and liaison aircraft.

A large number of single-seaters were converted into two-seaters as they were replaced with more modern equipment.
