The Reggiane Re.2004 was an Italian single-engined monoplane made by Reggiane and designed by Roberto Longhi. The aircraft never passed the preliminary stages.
== Design and development == The Re.2004 had identical fuselage, wings and other components to the Re.2005. The Re.2004 was powered by an air-cooled Isotta Fraschini Zeta RC 24/60 engine, with 24 cylinders arranged in an X-pattern, producing 1,250 hp (932 kW). In 1942, a prototype was built, and ten models were ordered; the order was later cancelled due to unresolved engine overheating problems. However, by this time, the Re.2005 had been completed.
