History of the Piaggio-Pegna P.C.7

The Piaggio-Pegna P.C.7 is a unique Italian racing seaplane designed in 1929 by engineer Giovanni Pegna in cooperation with the Piaggio company. This model was created especially for the prestigious Schneider Trophy race, which was one of the main drivers of seaplane aviation technology development of that era. The P.C.7 featured an innovative and experimental design—it was the first aircraft to use a concealed propeller in the fuselage and special floats, with takeoff performed "on the plane." Although the project proved too ambitious and the aircraft did not achieve racing success, it remains a fascinating example of Italian technical ingenuity from the interwar period.
