The CVV-6 Canguro (English: Kangaroo) was a high performance two seat glider, designed at Milan Polytechnic University in 1940. A small batch was ordered for the Italian Air Force but few were delivered; more were produced after World War II, becoming the most common Italian gliding club machine. Some were still in use in the 1980s. In 1954 a Canguro came second at the World Gliding Championships at Camphill Great Hucklow, Derbyshire, England. One was modified into a powered aircraft, at first with a piston engine and later with a turbojet.

- Il Canguro era un aliante ad ala alta progettato dall'ingegnere Italiano Ermenegildo Preti, del Politecnico di Milano, e realizzato dall' di Cantù negli anni quaranta. Il prototipo effettuò il primo volo nella primavera del 1941, pilotato dal collaudatore Nello Valzania. Destinato inizialmente all'uso sportivo civile venne impiegato anche in ambito militare come addestratore nei reparti di volo senza motore di Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana (ANR) e, dopo il termine della seconda guerra mondiale, dalla nuova Aeronautica Militare.
