Designed in late 1958, the Renault R-28 Exp. (Experimental) "Hercule (Hercules)" was meant to operate as a carrier-launched interceptor and ground attacker. Internally, it was armed with four 20mm cannons, which were mounted in the nose. Externally, it had a total of 9 hard points for attaching various weapons. The standard loadout for the R-28 would have consisted of four ATG guided missiles, four rocket pods, and a single external fuel tank. Two prototypes of the R-28, nicknamed "Athena" and "Ares", were built and tested from land-based airfields and mock carrier decks. The ship that the R-28 would have been primarily stationed on was the then-under-construction FS-88 Gerrault Class carrier (the carrier project was eventually scrapped in favor of building smaller, cheaper vessels). In early 1963, the R-28 program was cancelled, and the "Athena" was scrapped. However, the "Ares" was kept as a testbed for newer technologies. On August 18, 1970, eight years later, the Ares took off from, and later landed on, the deck of a carrier for the first and only time in the R-28's history. The Ares was later bought and sent to the Aerostyle Military Archive in Illinois, where it has been on display ever since.
