Notes:
- "Re.2005 performed tests with a  different propeller from the the one of the G.55 (that will be the final  one regarding blades shape)  and the engine was not at its best  efficiency conditions"
- the column MC.205 refers to MC.205N but  "estimated" values were not available at that time so they were  extrapolated from the ones of MC.205V
