The Fiat G.5 was an Italian two-seat aerobatic tourer or trainer designed and built by Fiat Aviazione in small numbers.[1]
Development
Designed originally as a two-seat light aerobatic trainer the G.5 was a low-wing cantilever monoplane powered by a 135 hp (101 kW) Fiat A.70 radial piston engine.[1] It had fixed tailwheel landing gear and tandem open cockpits for the instructor and pupil.[1]
The type was built in small numbers and was followed by a prototype G.5/2 with an inverted inline 140 hp (104 kW) Fiat A.60.[1] A small number was also built of the final variant G.5bis which was fitted with a higher output 200 hp (149 kW) Fiat A.70 engine.[1]
Later history and operations
Some aircraft were later modified to single-seat configuration.[1] One example of the G.5bis, registered I-BFFI, survived in civil ownership and operation until at least 1955[2] and is now preserved in a museum.
