The CAP-5 Carioca was a civil trainer aircraft developed in Brazil during World War II. It was essentially an enlarged version of the CAP-4, itself an unlicensed copy of the Taylor Cub. The CAP-5 had a bigger cabin, more powerful engine, and revised flying surfaces. Certification proved difficult to obtain, and eventually only seven aircraft were built, going to Brazilian aero clubs. The design was briefly revived in 1948 for what was to be CAP's last design, the CAP-9 air ambulance. Again, few were made.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Spar (aeronautics)</span> Main structural member of the wing of an aircraft

In a fixed-wing aircraft, the spar is often the main structural member of the wing, running spanwise at right angles to the fuselage. The spar carries flight loads and the weight of the wings while on the ground. Other structural and forming members such as ribs may be attached to the spar or spars, with stressed skin construction also sharing the loads where it is used. There may be more than one spar in a wing or none at all. Where a single spar carries most of the force, it is known as the main spar.
