Related Matter: The Nose Block Separation Structure
The nose block of the VF-1 series functions as an escape system that is furnished with an independent life support system, rescue transponder, a hypo-metabolic system, and a simple emergency medical system. Not only is the specification changed by exchanging parts, but it was also designed with emphasis on improving the pilot's survivability.

Caption: Panels on the left side of the surface of the fuselage in fighter are opened and operated when separating the nose block from the outside.

Down: The separation structure of the nose block (the D model is pictured). The block is separated from the root, which is buried on the fuselage side.

Down: The VF-1 series can mount and transport the nose block on the gun pod weapon rack.

Left: On the left is the nose block mounted in GERWALK. A solid-fuel rocket is installed in the tail of the nose block.

Caption: The VF-1S with the nose block that carries Hikaru and Minmei installed on its arm. The VF-1S rescued the two people that were left behind on the battle field.
