The Fiat R.2 represented an Italian reconnaissance plane developed shortly after the conclusion of World War I. It was notably the inaugural model sold under the Fiat name, as earlier Fiat designs had been released under the SIA label. This aircraft featured a traditional two-bay biplane configuration with wings of equal span arranged without stagger, and it employed a fixed tailskid landing gear system. Both the pilot and observer occupied tandem open cockpits. The R.2’s design was based on the wartime SIA 7 and SIA 9 models but underwent significant modifications by Rosatelli to resolve persistent issues found in those predecessors. A total of 129 units were manufactured for service with the Regio Esercito Air Corps.
