The Breda-Zappata B.Z.309 was an Italian twin-engined airliner project by Breda.
Aircraft designer Filippo Zappata developed a short range twin-engined civil transport for 11 to 15 passengers and a crew of two. The BZ.309 was a twin-engined all metal high wing transport aircraft that was designed for short-range airline routes within Italy. [1] The aircraft was envisioned to be powered by two inline engines of an unspecified make producing between 900 and 1000 horsepower each, with a top speed of 217 mph. [2] [1] The empty weight was designed to be 8,050 lb, and maximum gross takeoff weight was 12,125 lb. [1] It had tricycle landing gear, and single fin and rudder. [2] The completion of the design phase was announced by the company in July 1947. [1] The Breda company had financial problems which led to the project being abandoned.
