−	The R-250 uses two nacelles fixed to the ends of each wing, powered by two Obbscon Company SR125 turbine engines, which can be rotated 89 degrees to allow for horizontal flight. Unlike similar tiltrotor designs, the two nacelles do not roate indepdently to provide yaw control. Instead, a conventional tail rotor is used as this provides more stable flgith characterisitcs when hovering, whilst also reducing wear and complexity. It has a top speed of 650 mph (1046 km/h), far exceeding the design brief and allowing for rapid response times. The wing can be rotate 90 degrees and the nacelles folded to allow for storage in the hangars of warships.	+	The R-250 uses two nacelles fixed to the ends of each wing, powered by two Obbscon Company SR125 turbine engines, which can be rotated 89 degrees to allow for horizontal flight.

The forward landing gear is motorized, thus elimnating the need for logistics tugs when manoeuvring.
