CANT) was an Italian aviation company which originally specialised in building naval aircraft, formed in 1923 as part of the CNT (''Cantiere Navale Triestino'', or in English Trieste Naval Shipyard). The company produced a number of designs for the Italian military, but ceased operations in 1944. History In 1921, the Cosulich family of Trieste, owners of CNT decided to enter the aviation business. Already active in shipping and shipbuilding, they followed the same pattern by establishing first an air taxi service (SISA, 1921) and then a seaplane workshop at Monfalcone (within the existing shipyard) in 1923. The first successful design was the CANT 6 a three-engine biplane flying-boat bomber built in 1925. SISA trained pilots for the Regia Aeronautica (the Italian Air Force) using CANT 7 and CANT 18 biplanes; from 1926 it added airline services, using ...

The task was entrusted to the chief designer of the company, Raffaele Conflenti, who developed the new model, which assumed the designation CANT 21, based on the previous CANT 10 and CANT 13 maintaining the biplane central hull and from which it was essentially differentiated a different design of the hull, without a keel and with a reduced redan.

However, the examining commission considered the S.62 much higher, declaring it the winner of the competition, but the Ministry of Ae ...
