Chiribiri Type 5

  Two Fabbrica Torinese Velivoli Chiribiri Type 5 monoplanes with 80-hp Chiribiri engines were entered in the 1913 military aircraft competition. They were initially rejected prior to the competition, probably due to an arcane inclusion in the competition’s requirement. They were subsequently readmitted, only to be were withdrawn by the manufacture in protest against these same unreasonable rules (including the rule that stated that the military would not be obligated to purchase the winning aircraft). Therefore, neither aircraft participated for a chance at a military contract.
