WR-23 Revere: Weather Recon Jet

Mission Overview

The WR-23 (75% scale model) is designed to operate in extreme conditions — from hurricane eyes to high-altitude research corridors — carrying a modular sensor suite and hardened avionics capable of surviving the storm. This isn't a fighter jet — it's a science vessel in disguise.
