Design and development
editIt was destined to participate in the 1925 edition of the Schneider Cup. The CNT-II was characterized by a pushing motor configuration, with one V12 motor engine delivering 465 hp (347 kW). Due to the probable little care in the construction of the hulls, both aircraft sank during the flotation tests. Although recovered and sent for repairs, the project was interrupted.[1]
