Guren's Air Glide System
The Air Glide System (エアグライドシステム, Ea Guraido Shisutemu) is a derivative of the Float System developed by Rakshata Chawla for the Black Knights. It was first introduced during the operation to capture the Viceroy of Area 11, Nunnally vi Britannia, after Kallen Kozuki's Guren Mk-II was crippled by Suzaku Kururugi's Lancelot Conquista, requiring it to be reconfigured into the Guren Flight-Enabled Version.
Operational History[]
The system was first deployed with the Guren Flight-Enabled Version during the operation to capture Nunnally. It is also equipped to the Zangetsu, the Akatsuki Command Model Zikisan, Akatsuki Mass-Production Model, and the Shen Hu. The system is also integrated with the Shinkirō. Various Britannian Knightmare Frames could also be modified to include the system. Examples include the Vincent and the Sutherland. The Air Glide System was eventually installed on the mass-produced Akatsuki just before the formation of the United Federation of Nations. After the failed rebellion made by the Knights of the Round near Pendragon Imperial Palace, a damaged Tristan was given an Air Glide System as part of its upgrades to become the Tristan Divider.
During the Kowa Era, a new modified version of the Air Glide System was developed, called the "Hisho Kasso Yoku Kai". It was designed to act as an external unit for the experimental Energy Wing System, the defining feature of 9th-Generation Knightmares. It is made for excellent convenience of retrofitting and maintenance. The only machine known to possess this system is the Guren Type Special.
