The '''Casati ''Avvoltoio''''' was a single-seat {{wpl|heavy fighter}} built by the Casati Aircraft Corporation for the [[Cacertian Empire]] during the [[Siduri War]]. Among the contemporary Cacertian aircraft of the time, the ''Avvoltoio'' had considerably better performance than other Cacertian twin-engine aircraft as a result of its unique {{wpl|push-pull configuration}} and lower {{wpl|Drag_(physics)#Aerodynamics|aerodynamic drag}} from the in-line alignment of its two engines. The development of the ''Avvoltoio'' came from observations of aircraft performance in the [[Tennaiite Front]] in which it would primarily serve between 1936 and 1938. In addition to its deployment as a general heavy fighter, the ''Avvoltoio'' was also utilized as a {{wpl|night fighter}}, {{wpl|fighter-bomber}}, {{wpl|escort fighter|long-range escort fighter}}, and bomber pathfinder.
