The R-505U is visibly based on the Concorde. It features two off-set closed wings, which decreases induced drag. For added stability, the wing design includes a set of canted tips. This stability is unprecedented for similar aircraft of the era, and passengers hardly feel the aircraft turning.[1]
As with other aircraft of the era, the R-505U apparently utilizes a COFFIN design, eliminating the need for cockpit windows.
History
Neucom developed the R-505U as part of its R-numeral aircraft series. Despite this, the aircraft was provided to UPEO for their exclusive use.[1]
Depending on Nemo's decisions, the R-505U will either be shot down and everyone on board killed,[3] or the R-505U will safely land at Dennis, followed by Clarkson, Fiona, and Nemo defecting to Neucom.[2] In the former scenario, Nemo and Erich realized that they were being used by Gilbert Park to shoot down the R-505U, allowing Park to take control of UPEO and fuel the war further.[3]
Game Analysis
Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere
"Has a form with flowing lines and is a design one can easily distinguish with one look. There is very little swaying of the fuselage, and it offers a comfortable ride."
