is there any evidence for the Re.2005 used in "berlin defence"? names of Geschwader or pilots?

• No, the unit was Luftdienst Kommando Italien, but it's Re.2005 aircraft never left Italy^[1]Dirk P Broer 12:30, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

is there any historical test report showing its performance?

• Yes, if this is what you mean^[2] There is plenty published about this plane, but knowledge of Italian is handy.Dirk P Broer 12:30, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject class rating

This article was automatically assessed because at least one article was rated and this bot brought all the other ratings up to at least that level. BetacommandBot 10:24, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Strangely enough, this articles is perhaps the most complete available on internet. Too kind gents.--Stefanomencarelli 13:23, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Performances

RE.2005 was sometimes rated at 678 kmh, but these performances are not coped with series version. It appear that the maximum speed could had been 678kmh but even IF that performance was correctly reported (exactly 50kmh more than ufficial rate, humm....) it is referring to prototype trials, without radio antenna mast and full armament (that was 4x12,7+1x20 or only 2x12,7+1x20 instead to 3x20+2x12,7 with some differences also on drag over the weight). Seen the mirable performances of P-39 Prototipes it's not difficult to understand why RA stated ufficially: 510 kmh at sealevel, and 628 at 6900 m. 678 are definitively too high for a series machine, and this is proof because it was 'eventually' reached by prototipe, quite different than series model.--Stefanomencarelli 19:28, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Found some information about this "speed" issue - Source " Dimensione Cielo - Caccia Italiani nella Seconda Guerra Mondiale" By Emilio Brotzu, Michele Caso, Gerardo Cosolo - Eizioni Bizzarri - Roma, 1971. The source states that the 678 Km/h were attained on a "speed record base" - the aircraft performed a shallow dive, stabilized the instruments, leveled and aligned with the base, and the time was marked. - the thing was repeated to build up a statistic base. Later tests, without the shallow dive but with full load and military equipment, gave those 628.5 Km/h.

My Idea is that 628.5 Km/h is the correct TAS to be indicated for the aircraft, because representative of the actual operational performances. Regards, Luciano M. Trentadue —Preceding unsigned comment added by Luciano M. Trentadue (talk • contribs) 06:38, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
