The Redento Redvyrne is a Rhodeve long-range, single-seat fighter and fighter-bomber aircraft, noted for its usage during the Second Great War by the Rhodeve Protectorate Program forces in Ventismar, Ziamban and Ophion. First used as a fast reconnaissance fighter Molenston Air Force, the Afrin-Myers Fountain engine was replaced with the Afrin-Myers P-XKZ-103 for increased range and speed. It entered into common service by the Rhodeve Protectorate Program in 1941 with the v2 variant. In 1945, the v2 was replaced with the RR-27 v3 and vB models with increased firepower and fuel efficiency.

The RR-27 was deemed obsolete by 1955, and was phased out of usage in favour of more modern fighter and air superiority aircraft.

Service with Other Air Forces

Since its inception, the Redento Redvyrne was a multinational aircraft. It would continue to be used by multiple nations across the globe until its retirement. During the war, a Redvyrne cost about 52,500 NSD.

Eubatu purchased two RR-27 vBs in 1951 to be used as the nation's air force.

The Ispanzan First and Second Air Raiding Wings incorporated the use of Redvyrnes into their fleets in 1948.

The first nation to use the RR-27 in 1940, Molenston became an active user of all variants of the aircraft throughout the Second World War.

Rhodevus

In 1948, Rhodevus became a widespread user of all variants of the RR-27.
