YR-302 Fregata

The YR-302, codenamed Fregata, is the first aircraft of its size to use a phenomenal four jet engine design, rather than the conventional one or two. The Fregata is the first fighter jet in Ace Combat history to use this four engine system. It is also equipped with two-dimensional thrust vectoring on each engine, and a preliminary version of the COFFIN System.

Its function is primarily ground attack, though it is capable of and specializes in operating at extremely high-altitudes.

Due to its unique engine configuration, the YR-302 can carry massive loads of ordinance and is equipped with extremely heavy armor plating. However, as expected, its fuel consumption rate is very high and maintenance on the Fregata is much more difficult compared to that on other aircraft.
