The supplied technical report describes the CANT Z.506 Airone as a wooden-structure trimotor floatplane designed by Filippo Zappata for Cantieri Riuniti dell'Adriatico. Its reported configuration includes a low-wing cantilever wooden monoplane, plywood skinning, twin elongated duralumin floats and three Alfa Romeo 126 R.C.34 air-cooled radial engines.
