cool plane

Monument to ingenuity? No, a monument to the epic history of aeronautics, when the humans are attempting to flight more speedly, much highly, having more power. The air compressing mode and the afterburner feature are all previewed in this fantastic plane, concepts that will be realized 5 years later.

There's a copy of this aircraft hanging in the Italian Air Force Museum on Lago di Bracciano about 40 km northwest of Rome. If you're in Italy it is worth the trip. Hard to find but worth it.

The CC1 according to an old copy of Flypast magazine was a static test fuselage with a fixed tail and stub wings for ground testing the engine.It had as single cockpit unlikethe CC2, for an engineer only.

Did you forget the CC-1? As I recall it had a prop to take-off which was then jettisoned once it was airborne. The follow-on CC-2 no longer required a prop.

If you can get a copy of Air Progress Magazine 1942 October you will find a complete story and interal drawingf of this aircraft. It flew the mail with two operators. Funny how history depends many times on the bias of the writer. This airecraft was the first to fly without an external prop.
I have a copy of the October 1942 "AIR PROGREES MAGAZINE" WITH DETAILS.

does anyone know how i can see a photo of Caproni's Transaereo flying boat ( it had nine wings ) 1921

Should have been used as a fighter

Zane, just so you know, the Re.2007 design was proven to be a hoax perpetrated by the president of Reggiane to generate publicity.
Anyway, I find this a fascinating machine...even if it was powered by an impractical engine design, it still represents a milestone in jet technology as the second air-breahing reaction-powered aircraft ever to fly and also the first jet to fly a respectable distance under its own power.

This was a more advanced version of Secondo Campini's technology path. With the help of Count Caproni, in 1932 he flew his own Stipa-Caproni which was basically a winged tube with a DeHavilland Gypsy III in the middle, dubbed a "motor jet" as it created an airflow within the tube or "ducted fan." Campini also funded Henri Coanda's Rumanian Coanda 1910 at Taliedo, Italy utilizing a Clerget four-cylinder inline engine to power the Coanda Air Reactive Engine. This was all prior to the air show in France, which had absolutely nothing to do with the Conada 1910 other than Coanda attending the international air show to demonstrate his creation. The Caproni Campini N.1 (CC.2) was the natural next step in development. It is also rumored (I don't know how true) that Caproni also influenced the Reggiane Re-2007 for a post-war Italian fighter. He emigrated to the USA in 1948.

This aircraft may not have been a technical marvel but our own Bell XP59 jet was not either. I find them admirable steps in jet evolution.
Very good site! Thanks.

Could you produce a 3-line drawing of this aircraft? It would be most appreciated. Thank you. This is otherwise a very informative website. Thank you again.
