- in the original draft, the engine was to be a Rolls-Royce Kestrell
- Porco Rosso bought the plane after he left the army
- the R on the back of his plane represents “R” in Rosso and “R” in Republic

the pilot’s poor visibility due to the location of the engine
the plane’s instability when at low speeds
inflexibility
