Macchi M.16

The Macchi M.16 was a light single-seat aircraft produced in Italy in 1919. It was a single-bay biplane with unstaggered wings and a largely conventional design except for an unusually deep fuselage that extended in a bulge below the lower wing. The M.16 proved a successful sporting type setting an altitude record of 3 770 m (12 370 ft) in 1920 while competing for the Coppa Mappelli and winning first prize in the competition the following year.
