The SM.80 amphibious touring aircraft normally had one engine with a tractor propeller. Fiat heir Eduardo Agnelli was apparently killed by the prop of the first example on 14 July 1935. Beautifully displayed at the Volandia museum, the single SM.80bis was built as a four-seater with two pusher Pobjoy engines. It wears the name of one of its owners, Carlo Saglio.

The SM.1019 was developed from the O-1 Bird Dog.

Malpensa airport was developed from the Caproni factory airfield, dating back to 1910, and the Volandia museum is housed in the historic factory buildings. No less than three examples of the marginallly succesful S.211 jet trainer are preserved here and the first prototype, I-SITF, now sits in this spot, replacing I-SMTE.

The prototype of the AB.102, first flown in 1959 and based on the old Bell 48. Eight passengers could be carried. Driven by one R-1340 Wasp piston engine, the type was overtaken by turbine-powered helicopters and only a few examples were built.

The cargo city is on the left side of the frame, next to the Control Tower and Terminal 1 with the area for the new satellite. A huge hangar for Alitalia was going to be finished; it would be able to give shelter to the 777's.
