VF-31J Siegfried (Hayate Immelmann Use)

The VF-31J, (used exclusively by Delta Squadron) was developed as a general-purpose support variable fighter exclusively for the Tactical Sound Unit 'Walkure'.  Though the basic airframe and construction are descended from the VF-31 Kairos, internally the addition of a 'Fold Wave System' and different engine necessitated numerous internal changes and reinforcements in order to accommodate the improved engine performance.  The VF-31 Siegfried currently has C, E, F, J, and S variants fielded, with the base specs being relatively similar, primarily differing in external appearance - such as the head section design and number of beam guns installed there.   (The J model has one anti-air beam gun while E, F, and J have two, and the S model has four.)  Though there are essentially no significant internal differences, each model has a number of software changes, with the fold wave system on each model being tuned to the individual parameters of each Walkure member, and matching the the ARIEL III onboard AI with the movement patterns of each member, in addition to minor avionics changes.

The S model, as the commander unit, has formation command systems as well as improved transmitters and datalink systems.

Long Voyage

Return of the Valkyrie

In 2025, a single Valkyrie was recovered in Lunar Orbit.  Though more or less intact, it had suffered severe damage, and all onboard systems had stopped.  Thought to have been shot down and abandoned in the First Space War, and fearing possible Zentraedi booby traps, it was carefully brought to the Moon's Apollo base for examination, where an astonishing discovery was made.

VF-1 Valkyrie Cockpit Layout

The VF-1 series cockpit design is an excellent result of the merging of OTM and Human Technology to create a superior man-machine interface system.  Previous fighter cockpits were dogged with concepts such as ‘creating high degree of control’ and ‘reducing pilot workload’, while attempting to emphasize ‘minimizing human error’ over all other issues.

This picture was taken from the rear seat of an accompanying VF-1D.

The largest change from the VF-1 series was the VF-4's greatly expanded capabilities in space, though atmospheric performance was approximately on par with that of the VF-1.  Once at high altitudes, however, the VF-4 displayed greatly increased mobility.

APS-25A/MF25 Armored Pack

The MF25 Specification APS-25A was the basic Armored Pack deployed by the former Macross Frontier fleet.  As the wing surfaces are almost completely covered with large booster units, these packs were, in principle, equipment used exclusively outside of atmospheric conditions.

来たぁぁ！！

Oh my god.... It's happening!

It must be said that my favorite mecha of all time is the VF-22/YF-21 from Macross...

And now....

Oh my god.

It's being released next week.
