==Design and development== During 1916 Caproni embarked on the design of a small light ground attack aircraft which followed the design philosophy of its much larger cousins the [[Caproni Ca.3 (1916)|Ca.3]] and [[Caproni Ca.4 (1916)|Ca.4]].<ref name="Abate"/> [[File:Caproni Ca.37 02.png|right|thumb|3/4 rear view of the Ca.37]] The Ca.37 followed the twin boom layout with central nacelle, which housed the tandem cockpits and the {{cvt|250|hp|order=flip}} [[Lancia Tipo 4]] 6-cylinder in-line piston engine, driving a 2-bladed pusher propeller. The tail-plane spanned across the two tail-booms and mounted two all-flying rudders for yaw control. Twin main-wheel units were strut mounted under each boom which also carried wooden tail-skids.<ref name="Abate"/> The front cockpit was to house a gunner with a flexibly mounted machine-gun. Small bombs were also to be carried for trench attacks and anti-personnel attacks.<ref name="Abate"/> Limited further development, in the form of streamlined pod and booms, was carried out as the '''Ca.38''', but no production resulted.<ref name="Abate"/>
