Caproni Ca.60

The Caproni Ca.60 Noviplano was a nine-wing flying boat intended to be a prototype for a 100-passenger trans-atlantic airliner. It featured eight engines and three sets of triple wings. Two pontoons mounted on each side were intended to give the aircraft stability. Only one example of this aircraft was built by Caproni. The prototype only made one short flight on 4 March 1921 over Lake Maggiore in Italy.

Capronissimo or more properly the Caproni Ca 60, took off from the lake for a moment before nose diving back into the water and crashing. Thankfully test pilot Semprini somehow survived.7
Even worse than the Caproni Ca.60 was one that shows up often in failed aircraft videos...something like 8 wings on top of each other.8
