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.
