Their main purpose is to enforce the trade monopoly by acting as maritime patrol aircraft. It's unusual configuration is inspired by the Savoia-marchetti SM.55, and is aimed at both avoiding asymmetrical thrust in case of engine failure and avoiding the need for internal bomb rack mechanisms, thus simplifying maintenance.
