The '''CANT 18''' was a [flying boat](/source/flying_boat) [trainer](/source/Trainer_(aircraft)) developed in [Italy](/source/Italy) in the 1920s to prepare pilots for flying boat [airliner](/source/airliner)s. A development of the [CANT 7](/source/CANT_7), it incorporated various aerodynamic and hydrodynamic refinements. While remaining broadly similar in configuration, the new design replaced the CANT 7's conventional [strut](/source/Interplane_strut)s with [Warren truss](/source/Warren_truss) bracing for the wings. Most of the aircraft produced were used by [S.I.S.A.](/source/Societ%C3%A0_Italiana_Servizi_Aerei)
