During the 1930s, the design was licensed to Mitsubishi, which constructed and flew a total of six aircraft, in a military bomber/transport configuration, designated Ki-20.[2]
The G.38 carried a crew of seven. Onboard mechanics were able to service the engines in flight[1] due to the G.38's blended wing design, which provided access to all four power plants.
