The IMAM Ro.5 was a sport aircraft designed by Alessandro Tonini and produced by IMAM in Italy in the late 1920s. [1]
The Ro.5 was a conventional, parasol wing monoplane with fixed tailskid undercarriage and two open cockpits in tandem. [2] It proved popular with private owners and flying clubs, and was built in large numbers. [2] Some Ro.5s were purchased by the Regia Aeronautica for use as trainers and liaison aircraft. [2] A later version, the Ro.5bis, enclosed the cockpits under a long canopy. [2]
