The CANT Z.501 "Gabbiano" was a central-hull seaplane designed for maritime reconnaissance,
developed by engineer Filippo Zappata for the Cantieri Riuniti dell'Adriatico (C.R.D.A.) in the 1930s.
The aircraft's design featured a large high wing and lateral floats, making it suitable for patrol,
search, and rescue operations at sea. It was powered by a 900 HP Isotta Fraschini Asso XI engine,
providing good range and a maximum speed of 275 km/h. The CANT Z.501 began its operational
service during the Spanish Civil War but was extensively used by the Regia Aeronautica during
World War II in the Mediterranean theater. It was armed with three 7.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine
guns for defense against air attacks and could carry a limited offensive payload.
