The Flying armor is a machine based on the MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam's Wave Rider mode and was expressly manufactured for use by the RX-178 Gundam Mk-II. Although not intended for space use, the Flying Armor could be utilized as a re-entry vehicle for the Mk II. Moreover, the Flying Armor also gave the Mk II the ability to hover over water and land, as well as entertain extended atmospheric flight.
