Fiat R.2

Military Aircraft

The Fiat R.2 was a reconnaissance aircraft produced in Italy shortly after the First World War, and the first aircraft to be marketed under the Fiat brand, earlier Fiat aircraft having been sold as SIA types. It was a conventional two-bay biplane with equal-span, unstaggered wings and a fixed tailskid undercarriage, with the pilot and observer sitting in tandem open cockpits. The design was a derivative of the SIA 7 and SIA 9 flown during the war, but it was considerably revised by Rosatelli to correct ongoing problems with those types. A total of 129 were produced for the Air Corps of the Regio Esercito, and the Turkish Air Force also appears among its operators. Powered by one Fiat A.12bis engine of 220 kW, the aircraft had a crew of two, a gross weight of 1,720 kg and a maximum speed of 175 km/h.
