The MM.494 prototype fitted with a DB 605 had a recorded speed of 678 km/h (421 mph) when flown fully equipped but this speed was attained by levelling the aircraft after a dive. The official maximum speed was 628.5 km/h (390.5 mph) at an altitude of 6,950 m (22,800 ft). The Re.2005 had good handling in dogfights and according to General Minguzzi, who flew both the Re.2005 and the Spitfire, the Re. 2005 was even better than the Spitfire in tight turns and handling..

The Re.2005 was the only Italian aircraft of the war to have hydraulically activated flaps. The Re.2005 was one of the most advanced Italian fighters but it was also too advanced to be made by the Italian industry and one of the most expensive, if not the most expensive to produce. The complexity of the Re.2005 design and small dimensions led to the

The seat provided little protection against 12.7 mm rounds which were capable of piercing even 25 mm (0.98 in) at short distances but the armour was tempered, giving more protection than homogeneous steel. Given the heavy weight of a thick steel plate, every attempt was made to make the steel alloy used stronger and a headrest was attached to bulkhead six.

operations from Malta. Fast, and with excellent manoeuvrability, the Re.2005 was altogether a superb aeroplane. Neither the Macchi 205 nor the Bf 109G measured up to the capabilities of the Re.2005 series in manoeuvrability or rate of climb. I think it was easily the best aircraft Italy produced. It is a pity that no Re.2001/5s survive this day because they were fine examples of
Italian engineering craftsmanship.

Spitfire remained steadily attached to his tail following every move and then opened fire. Salvi's Re.2005 was struck by many bullets and Salvi was sure he was going to be killed when the Spitfire just as suddenly vanished, possibly out of ammunition. Fuel levels and pilots skill probably were the deciding factor in this incident.

Its semi-elliptical wings, long nose and large tail were all distinctive features of this small, nimble fighter.

they were caused by inadequate dynamic balancing of the empennage, the balance likely lost during full excursion rudder maneuvers performed during dives. After correcting the balancing, de Prato dived the aircraft to 980 km/h (610 mph) TAS convincing himself that the structure of the Re.2005 was fully capable of high

Reggiane 2005 was the last of the Reggiane aircraft line to be built during World War II. The project which started in 1941 was carried out by a team led by Roberto Longhi with the designers Alessio, Maraschini, Toniolo and Pozzi. Preliminary work was completed before the end of the year despite

On 25 August de Prato carried out test dives at
Guidonia. He then flew the aircraft back to Reggio Emilia where three more dives were made on 27, 29 and 31 August. According to De Prato's account, the tests concluded that the "shaking" began at 660 km/h (410 mph) true air speed and that

One of the few examples of combat reports, dated 11 July 1943, seems to contradict

This statement provides a realistic comparison between the two aircraft: in theoretical speed, the Macchi C.202 was only 30 km/h (19 mph) slower but the Re.2005 with the DB-605 engine and larger wing, provided a substantial improvement in performance at high altitude (the difference was

The aircraft is in ideal flying conditions at an altitude of 7,000–7,500 m (23,000–24,600 ft) and can make repeated attacks on
American heavy bombers in all positions and from all directions... I can therefore say that the speed and handling qualities are excellent even at 7,000 m

More aircraft arrived at 362a Squadriglia and in the following weeks, this unit displayed a lot more potency than C.202 units, claiming several bombers for the loss of a pair of Re.2005s. By 25 June 1943, Reggiane Re.2005 pilots claimed a total of seven B-24s and many others damaged but losses

Ten more fighters joined 362a but when one was damaged in a steep dive on 21 August 1943, some concern was raised. On 25 August, MM.092356 (Lt Dario Signorini bailed out) was lost during another dive and so further flights were discontinued. It was discovered that at speeds over 660 km/h
