To supplement poor fuel cost that was the fault of an initial jet engine, the U.S. Navy decided to develop the compound power machine that installed a past reciprocating engine for the cruise, and the prototype was ordered to the Curtis and the Ryan company at the beginning of 1943.
Though the two companies similarly designed the airframe of shape to install the jet engine in a usual recipro fighter, It was a Ryan company that previously completed the prototype by one step.
Prototype XFR-1 of the Ryan company flew first in June, 1944 (However, it was a flight only of the reciprocating engine).
Though it was not the one to exceed the recipro fighter in the performance, 100(600 improvement types were added next January) was ordered as a machine equipped with the first jet engine in the U.S. Navy at the end of 44 years.
However, a large amount of order is canceled because of the World War II conclusion, It ended only in 66-plane's completion.
The squadron (VF-66 . VF-41, VF-1E, and change the title afterwards) that disposed this machine were organized in May, 1945, There was no chance of the actual combat participation.
And, all machine were retirement in 1947 according to pure jet fighter's (FJ-1 etc.) appearance.

-----\Aircraft
---------\Ryan FR1

Please copy all files in the \gauges folder onto the gauge in the Gauges folder of FS2002 or FS2004.
A general gauge is saved for the gauge bundled this time.
The gauges of Kingair, GPS are not bundled.
Please setup it by yourself.

All aircraft that I made are free software.
The reprint and the repaint may go freely.
However, please defend the following conditions.

1.The change in contents of this file is prohibited.
(Please distribute it like the Zip file of the current state when distributing it. )
2.Please neither reverse-assembly nor never remodel(convert) it of the aircraft model.
and don't covert my airframe for CFS Series.
3.Please don't bundle my airframe(MDL file) in the package of your works when you open the repaint to the public.
(Please open only the texture to the public. )
4.Don't use DXT format for making texture.
Please make it by the format that everyone can change.
It is necessary to be able to read and change with usual drawing software.
5.It is prohibited to bundle and to open a new panel to the public to my aircraft model.
(Please open only the panel to the public.
It is included in this file, and remodeling the panel that uses the panel background and the change in the panel background are prohibited. )

6. [ About the directions point in FS2004 and FSX]

This aircraft model is made by using FSDS Ver2.24.
Therefore, it is possible to play basically in FS2004(FS9) and FSX(FS10).
However........!!
In FS2004.
For a wide large-scale aircraft, the distortion is caused and the phenomenon of the aerofoil tip's disappearing happens in the spot shooting mode.
If this phenomenon happens, Please switch to the spot shooting mode by using other small aircraft.
Afterwards, if this aircraft is selected, it is normally displayed.

And........
In FSX.
Because gauges do not correspond to FSX, the gauges in the cockpit are not displayed.
Please you looks for a suitable gauges and setup Panel.cfg by yourself.
Sorry...............

*******************************************************************
Please Notice

I like military aircrafts. Especially, fighter!!
But, It is because the shape is unique and the manoeuverability is good.
I like aircraft that can freely fly in the big sky.
However............I hate war and combatting.
When I thinks the airframe that I made launches the bullet and the missile, I become scary.
Therefore, I'm prohibiting convert of my airframe for CFS.
If it is possible, I am wishing my airframe not to be used in CFS.
Though you might be said "Because it's simulation world"..........
Please..........Please.......
