The VoLPHAU is a large transport aircraft deployed by ZAFT, introduced in the anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
A VTOL transport aircraft that serves as the core of ZAFT's MS transport in the Earth's sphere. It is equipped with hatches at the front and rear of the fuselage. Its distinctive feature in appearance is its four large main wings and large rotors attached to each wing. This not only ensures high stability and vertical takeoff and landing capabilities, but also provides a high level of convenience in terms of landing location. It has a high loading capacity and can transport four MS in a standing position and their necessary equipment.

History[]
First Alliance-PLANT War[]
In C.E. 71, VoLPHAUs were used to transport mobile suits and supplies across the Earth from ZAFT bases to the front lines on the battlefield.[1] Several aircraft were used during Operation Spitbreak to deploy mobile suits in the attack on the Earth Alliance's Headquarters; JOSH-A.[2]
Second Alliance-PLANT War[]
In C.E. 73, VoLPHAUs were deployed all across Earth once more, but this time to provide emergency assistance to areas devastated by the Junius Seven colony drop.[3]
