Detail design of the Re 2007 single-seat jet fighter began in October 1943. With component manufacturing began shortly afterwards. All design work had to be based on the known dimension of the Junkers Jumo 004 turbojet engine, it's intended power plant, but could progress no further by January 1944 owing to to lack of detailed information relating to the engine and it's installation.

Hauptmann Bohm, the Luftwaffe's senior engineer at the Reggiane plant, could obtain no definitive decision concerning the supply of the two Junkers Jumo 004B's which had been promised by the Germans. On the 7th January 1944, Roberto Longhi wrote to Count Caproni, requesting that he intercede with the German authorities as design work had stalled. In the meantime, much of the rear fuselage, wing spars, ribs, undercarriage and the cockpit were built but because of the inability to obtain adequately detailed information relating to the engine work once again stalled.

In October 1944 the completed components were moved to the Caproni plant at Taliedo, where they would remain until the end of the war, when they were then shipped to the U.S.A.

It is interesting to note that the two Jumo 004B engines were sent to Italy, but were said to have been sold for scrap in Milan immediately after the collapse of the German forces in Italy.

Looks much like MiG-9 I think. Maybe a franken would be possible.

Rather like Sabre.

Re.2007 - a notorious fake

[saab ja26]

True.

But still this would be good for 'what if" scenarios.

+1 for this.

[Radoye]

Huh, let me try understand how this works then - requests for planes that existed, have been flown, ordered into production but due to historical circumstances built only in a handful of examples and not used on a wide scale (LWS-3 Mewa, PZL.50, Ikarus Orkan etc) are routinely being shouted down and labeled "spam", but paper projects which never progressed further than a doodle on a back of a napkin and/or complete hoaxes that never existed in the historical context (like this "Re.2007" which was created in the 1960's) get the props up?

Radoye , calm down. People can do request. if you do not like them ignore them.
I am tyred of this kind of nonsens .

[Radoye]

I'm perfectly calm.

You misunderstood - of course they can make a request.

But why it is always the ones for stuff that did not exist get all the "+1", "nice", "cool", "good" while requests real planes, built and flown, get labeled as "spam"?

See here:

?
Two ever flew, none saw enemy action. probably none ever had guns, and for sure they never actively harmed the germans.


so, why should anyone was... Take the time to build one?

I start to think about such "requests" as a spam, nothing more.

kind of like show and tell

+1

+1 !
But at the same time I laugh a lot!
With all these "requests" there is work for the entire century ...

This all for a real plane, built, flown, ordered into full scale production (but never realized due to war fortunes)...

What's that all about?

paper projects like these do not get shouted down.
paper projects like these are not worth my energy of shouting and "putting the request into the proper situation".

i am eeeeevil...

[LuseKofte]

Ok I understand Radoye. And half way I agree.  But that issue does not fit to be debated in here. Try the lounge.

[HundertzehnGustav]

I mean... two elements:

Role                   Fighter aircraft
National origin   Italy
Manufacturer   Reggiane
Designer           Roberto Longhi
Status           Concept only

this one clearly states it is a modern what if concept-plane.

"Jumo 004 engines to be delivered to the italians in 1944"
would never have happened.

... so its already written in the original post that this is by no means a real aircraft.
Its a paperplane, a mental plane, written by someone that loves early Italian Jet aircraft, and has created a story to go with it.
Nice work!

[HundertzehnGustav]

the only thing i like about the profile, though, is the tail.
I see a rudder like that, and i hear something inside my brain whisper "saggitarrio... saaaagitarriooooooo"
and THAT is a Plane.. forgive me, but riding a Re.2005 would be... pure Porn.
