The R-10 “Aster” is a four-passenger light/medium jet that served as Roush’s financially successful breakout into the civilian jet market. Compared to other bizjets of the time, the Aster offered superior crew conditions and operating costs. Wright Regional Airways, the principle airliner of the archipelago, ordered several Asters upon release to serve as higher-class and lower-demand transportation options to the more developed airstrips across the island. As production continues, R-10s can be seen serving V.I.P transport, executive commuters, and as charter flights.

Several cockpit features and building techniques were pioneered in the construction of this model. This is the first Roush aircraft to contain a gyroscope, acting as a toggleable stabilizing feature in the cockpit which keeps the craft level and reduces pilot fatigue. The Aster also features an ergonomic center console for power supply, and a more efficient system of dividing gauges and controls between the pilot and the copilot, including a (currently decorative) digital flight panel. This all contributes to the Aster being a relatively docile aircraft to fly with the proper treatment.

A current issue of the Aster is that the wings, swept and optimized for cruising, require more runway space to generate lift, and this results in longer takeoff and landing times. In a more updated model of the Aster in the future, Roush Systems aims to address these shortcomings for the satisfaction of purchasers. We will do this on SP2 to integrate the latest technologies that game can offer.
