The '''CANT 18''' was a [[flying boat]] [[Trainer (aircraft)|trainer]] developed in [[Italy]] in the 1920s to prepare pilots for flying boat [[airliner]]s. A development of the [[CANT 7]], it incorporated various aerodynamic and hydrodynamic refinements. While remaining broadly similar in configuration, the new design replaced the CANT 7's conventional [[Interplane strut|strut]]s with [[Warren truss]] bracing for the wings. Most of the aircraft produced were used by [[Società Italiana Servizi Aerei|S.I.S.A.]]
