Based on one of the earliest aircraft manufactured by Raptor Aerospace Industries, the RH-3 ‘Sparrow’ has been refurbished for modern operations.

Designed as an early flight solution for fledgling space programs, the RH-3 has a low part count, low tech requirements, a low cost of only 17,018 funds, and able to perform a wide variety of missions, the RH-3 is perfect for beginners.

Designated as a reconnaissance and search and rescue (RH) aircraft, it can fulfill almost any task an early player needs their aircraft to fulfill. This includes exploration, research, training, airshows, and crew transport.

Statistics:

• Maximum Airspeed: 58 m/s
• Maximum Altitude: 10,000m
• Crew capacity: one (1) pilot and one (1) passenger
• Fuel amount: 90 units
• Parts: 27
• Weight: 3.762 tons

While the Sparrow is not incredibly fast, that is simply a limitation of the engine technology. It can provide enough thrust to carry the plane up to extremely high altitudes, and it has a rather impressive range for such a small aircraft. In addition, it is rather maneuverable.

In order to cut down on technology requirements, we decided to not include ladders. You’ll either have to get a stool or jump and press F to climb up onto the wing. With a capacity for one passenger, it is a perfect solution to rescuing downed pilots.

Note: Customers are encouraged to repaint their aircraft before attempting any reconnaissance missions.
