Re.2001 Delta
The air-cooled in-line engine Isotta-Fraschini Delta RC16/48 was tested on a single specimen (MM9920), the tests were performed from September 12, 1942 and were canceled as unsatisfactory.
Re.2001bis
The single aircraft was tested for radiators embedded in the wing and although the tests were successful, this version was the fastest, did not get into production.
Many Re.2001 have been modified and used as photo reconnaissance.
A total of 237 aircraft were produced, the sources differ in the number of aircraft produced, both in individual series and in the total number.
