H. |title=Jane's Encyclopedia of Aviation |year=1989 |publisher=Studio Editions |location=London |page=768 }} ==Design and development== The Ro.5 was a conventional, [parasol wing](/source/parasol_wing) [monoplane](/source/monoplane) with fixed tailskid undercarriage and two open cockpits in tandem.{{cite book |title=The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Aircraft |publisher=Aerospace Publishing|location=London |page=2193 }} It proved popular with private owners and flying clubs, and was built in large numbers. Some Ro.5s were purchased by the ''[Regia Aeronautica](/source/Regia_Aeronautica)'' for use as trainers and liaison aircraft. A later version, the '''Ro.5bis''', enclosed the cockpits under a long canopy. ==Operators== ;{{flag|Kingdom of Italy}} *[Regia Aeronautica](/source/Regia_Aeronautica) ;{{ESP}} *[Spanish Air Force](/source/Spanish_Air_Force) ==Specifications (Ro.5) == {{Aircraft specs |ref=Jane's all the World's Aircraft 1928,{{cite book |title=Jane's all the World's Aircraft 1928 |editor1-last=Grey |editor1-first=C.G. |year=1928 |publisher=Sampson Low, Marston & company, ltd |location=London |page=169c}} The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Aircraft |prime units?=met |crew=2 |length m=6.94 |span m=10 |height m=2.16 |wing area sqm=16 |aspect ratio= |airfoil= |empty weight kg=400 |gross weight kg=680 |max takeoff weight kg= |max takeoff weight lb= |max takeoff weight note= |fuel capacity= |more general= |eng1 number=1 |eng1 name=[Walter NZ 85](/source/Walter_NZ_85) |eng1 type=7-cyl. air-cooled radial piston engine |eng1 hp=85 |prop blade number=2 |prop name=fixed pitch propeller |prop dia m= |prop dia ft= |prop dia in= |prop dia note= |max speed kmh=175 |max speed note=to {{cvt|180|km/h|mph+kn}} |cruise speed kmh= |cruise speed mph= |cruise speed kts= |cruise speed note= |stall speed kmh=65 |never exceed speed kmh= |never exceed speed mph= |never exceed speed kts= |never exceed speed note= |range km=1000 |combat range km= |combat range miles= |combat range nmi= |combat range note= |ferry range km= |ferry range miles= |ferry range nmi= |ferry range note= |endurance=6.5 hours |ceiling m=4000 |g limits= |roll rate= |glide ratio= |climb rate ms= |climb rate ftmin= |climb rate note= |time to altitude= |wing loading kg/m2=42.5 |fuel consumption kg/km= |fuel consumption lb/mi= |power/mass={{cvt|0.05682|hp/lb|kW/kg|order=flip}} |more performance= }} ==References== {{commons category|IMAM Ro.5}} {{reflist}} {{IMAM aircraft}} {{Portal bar|Italy|Companies|Aviation}} Ro.05 Category:1920s Italian sport aircraft Category:Parasol-wing aircraft Category:Single-engined tractor aircraft Category:Aircraft first flown in 1929 --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [IMAM Ro.5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMAM_Ro.5) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMAM_Ro.5?action=history)).
