Caproni C22J

It truly was developed from a sailplane and three were built. Latterly called the Caproni Vizzola Ventura, it was exhibited at the Farnborogh Air Show in 1980 and 1982 but failed to gain any orders. Agusta bought 50% of the project looking to develop it into a light attack and reconnaissance aircraft as the C22R, but nothing came of it.
