Backstory:
Manufactured by the Hiiragi Aircrafts Ltd. The RS series is a series of jet powered Sea Planes that serves as VIP transports. Fittingly, the RS in the series means "Royalty Seaplane" since they can be customized to be luxurious.
Some time before the Raiden Shogun enacted the Vision hunt decree, the Kamisato clan recieved an RS-24 and RS-34 as VIP transports for the head of the Kamisato clan, Kamisato Ayato, and his younger sibling, Kamisato Ayaka.
Having been present during the aircraft test flights, Ayato noted the fine Inazuman craftsmanship of the aircrafts, and deemed that it would serve them well as VIP transports for diplomatic trips and meetings.
Configured with a luxorious interior that can accomodate 4 VIP passengers, the Kamisato express is also capable of holding meetings between clan heads and even the Raiden Shogun herself on a tri-comission meeting.
When the Vision Hunt Decree was enacted the Kamisato's RS-24 was used to transport the current head of the clan to the various meetings the Yashiro Commision holds. It was then that the Inazumans called the sea plane the Kamisato Express. The name stuck and to this day the Kamisato express still continues to be used to take the Kamisato family to business trips or visits to the Grand Narukami Shrine.

@WinsWings
If possible, please disqualify this plane since it feels like a weak entry compared to the F/A SP-1
@WinsWings Thank you
@Speedhunter no worries, I will take the best one.
O M G @AndrewGarrison Thank you for the upvote (and curation)
@HanakoSan I believe so, it was heavily inspired by it, although Im not sure if the BE-200 can retract the floats.... I was supposed to also make a V-tail variant with 3 engines
