The Caproni Ca.9, from which the Ca.10 was derived, is kept at the Museo dell'Aeronautica Gianni Caproni of Trento.
The Caproni Ca.10 was a single-engine monoplane characterized by a modern configuration, with elica traente and impennaggi in the queue. Similar to the Caproni Ca.9 from which it was derived, it was mainly differentiated by the fact of being a two-seater instead of a single-seater.A second seat intended for a passenger had in fact been housed in a space made, sacrificing the size of the fuel tank, below the cabane (ie the structure that held the Tie rods reinforcing the ali), at the bow of the pilot's seat.[1]
