The Breda CC.20 was an Italian heavy bomber prototype of 1929 designed and built by the Breda company.

Design and development

Ing Arturo Crocco and Ing Julio Constance designed the CC.20 -- "CC" for the surnames of the two engineers—which was Breda's first monoplane bomber. It was a seven-seat trimotor mid-wing monoplane powered by three 373-kilowatt (500-horsepower) Isotta-Fraschini Asso ("Ace") engines. It had a powerful defensive armament of one 25-millimeter cannon and seven 7.7-millimeter (0.303-inch) machine guns.

The CC.20 prototype first flew in 1929. Test flights showed it to be very slow and to have a short range, and Breda abandoned the project.
