description

The IMAM Ro.57 was a single-seat, cantilever low-wing, powered by two radial engines of the FIAT A-74 RC.38 type. It had a mixed structure - wooden wings covered with plywood and a metal fuselage covered with duralumin sheet. The plane received light standard armament for the then single-engine Italian fighters, consisting of only two 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns in the front of the fuselage. The design of the machine was based on the experience of the earlier Ro.53 project. The Ro.57 prototype, marked with a military registration number (Matricola Militare) MM.407, was flown at the beginning of 1939. The plane turned out to be much worse during the tests than the standard Regia Aeronautica single-seat fighters and the decision to start serial production was not made until 1942.
