The Z 42 first flew on 17 October 1967,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Janes_71_p32_0-0">[1]</sup> achieving airworthiness certification on 7 September 1970.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Janes_80p43_1-0">[2]</sup> |

The empennage is of sheet metal, and incorporates an all-flying tail. The two-spar wings are of all-metal construction. The tricycle landing gear is fixed, with a steerable nose wheel. Designed for aerobatics instruction, it was certified to +6.0 and -4.0 limit maneuvering load factors, and was equipped with full inverted fuel and oil systems permitting extended inverted flight. The Z 42 is powered by a Walter inverted six-cylinder engine rated at 134 kW (180 hp). |

Template:Infobox/Mobile Weapon Ver.2The MAJ-V34 Jiachong (aka Jiachong) is a mobile armor of the Human Reform League in season 1 of Mobile Suit Gundam 00.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
The MAJ-V34 Jiachong is tank-like mobile armor used by the Human Reform League to provide fire support for its mobile suits and is also used for patrols. In addition to the standard model, the HRL also produced the unmanned MAJ-V34AI Jiachong AI-Controlled Type and an unarmed engineer version equipped with a bulldozer blade.
Armaments
- 85mm x 50 Smoothbore Cannon
- 30mm Machine Gun
History
The Jiachong is seen to battle with the three Throne Gundams in an HRL base in Guangzhou, China. The base's Tierens and Jiachongs open fire, but they become easy targets for the Thrones before the GN-X squad (led by Sergei Smrinov) arrived.
In A.D.2312, the Jiachong remained in service as a patrol and fire support unit, and was seen guarding the Federation prison where Allelujah Haptism was being kept. Although they were not affected by the tidal wave generated by the CBS-74 Ptolemaios 2 crashing into the ocean during Celestial Being's rescue of Allelujah, they were clearly outmatched by the new GN-008 Seravee Gundam and GN-0000 00 Gundam.
