MS-07H Gouf Flight Test Type

The Gouf Flight Test Type mobile suits from the series Mobile Suit Gundam and Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam.

History
Following the Principality of Zeon's invasion and subsequent occupation of much of Earth during the One Year War, the Zeon military found that their revolutionary mobile suits that proved so effective in space combat were essentially slow-moving targets on Earth. A program was initiated to develop an atmospheric flight-capable mobile suit, and four MS-07 Goufs were modified into the experimental MS-07H Gouf Flight Test Type. Mounting aerodynamic control surfaces on its backpack and a pair of powerful thermonuclear jet engines on each leg, the Gouf Flight Test Types were assigned to Zeon's captured California Base and later transferred to an air force base in Arizona for extensive test flights. This initial design would prove flawed, however, and over the course of its test flight schedule, the Gouf Flight Test Types were refurbished and redesigned along the way, the last incarnation being the MS-07H-4 model before the program was finally scrapped.
