The Caproni ca.100 was a sesquiplane and 1929 was constructed. It was based on the De Havilland DH60 ( Moth), but had a number of small changes, particularly an enlarged bottom wing and vertical tail surfaces. The approximately 100 was produced from 1929 in large numbers for both the military and for the civilian market.

- Isotta Fraschini Asso 80 R with 115 PS (86 kW)
- Colombo S.63 with 145 hp (108 kW)
- Fiat A.50 with 85 hp (63 kW)
Beginning in 1934, a light training aircraft for the bombing, which could carry four small bombs and was equipped with a 130 hp (97 kW) engine was created.
From Macchi 30 pieces in the variant ca.100 Idro were prepared as seaplanes with two floats.
