R-505U

- UPEO VIP Transport -

Overview
The R-505U is only used by High Ranking UPEO or Neo United Nation personnel. Made especially by Neucom Inc. for the Neo United Nations, the R-505 is thought to be one of a kind since no other models of it's kind have been seen in service.

It is based off of the Concorde's Air Frame, but it is heavily modified to make it even faster than the Concorde itself. It's fuselage is almost twice the length of the Concorde. The engines have been heavily modified by Neucom's best technicians for maximum speed; the Tail Section has also been modified to handle these extreme high speeds. While the R-505's top speed is classified, it is believed that it is the only Aircraft of it's size which can Super Cruise at Hyper Sonic Speeds (Hyper Sonic being at or above MACH 5).

In 2045, the R-505U was assigned to a high priority mission. UPEO Representative Gabriel W. Clarkson was to meet with Neucom leaders and speak with them about their aggressions against General Resource LTD. However, it was found that this mission was a cover and that Clarkson was attempting to defect to Neucom. The R-505U was engaged by the UPEO's SARF and resulted in the destruction of the R-505U, and the death of all those aboard, including Gabriel W. Clarkson and the pilot, Fiona Fitzgerald.

NOTE: the destruction of the R-505U and the deaths of everyone aboard can be avoided by escorting the R-505 to Neucom, while playing Ace Combat 03
