the reasons of the failure of the Caproni C.60's flight were the ballast, composed from sandbags (simulating the weight of the passengers), that not being fixed, during the flight moved causing the abrupt change of the center of gravities of the airplane that caused the fall of the aircraft, one great idea a great airplane lost for one reason (the ballast) not connected to the plain… :-/ :-wave

the name of this aircraft is Caproni Ca.60 Transaereo

The Caproni Ca.60 Transaereo was a nine wing flying boat intended to be a prototype for a 100 passenger trans-atlantic airliner. It featured eight engines and three sets of triple wings. Two pontoons, mounted on each side, were intended to give the aircraft stability. Only one example of this aircraft was built by Caproni. The prototype only made one short flight on 4 March 1921 over Lake Maggiore in Italy. The aircraft attained an altitude of only 60 feet and crashed shortly thereafter. It broke up on impact and quickly filled with water, sinking to the bottom of the lake in a few minutes.
