Related Matter: The Initial Period Model Super Parts In Combat
With the VFs of the initial period that were put into the Unification War, such as the VF-0 and SV-51, there were only a few examples of them using equipment that was the equivalent of the Super Parts or other alternative equipment of later years.

Down: for the VF-0
The VF-0 in the "Birdman" incident had, along with diverting an unmanned QF-2200D aircraft itself into an additional booster, was equipped with leg Super Parts for use within the atmosphere.

Down: for the SV-51
The Anti Unification Alliance's SV-51 was put into the incident with twin boosters, which was equipment exclusive to the aircraft. It was also equipped with such things as composite micro-missile launcher and drop tank pods.

Related Matter: The Super Parts That Were Depicted In The Movie
Variations of the Super Parts for the VF-1 appear in the movie "Do You Remember Love?". It depicted such Super Parts as the high firepower specification and unarmed models as special types that made the best use of the special characteristics of the aircraft that was equipped with those parts.

Down: Strike Parts For The VF-1S
The type with an RO-X24 twin-barrel Beam Cannon attached to the right-hand FAST Pack. Due to compatibility issues with the aiming equipment, it's only installed on the S model.

Caption: [Ai] The VF-1 equipped with the Strike Parts is called the "Strike Valkyrie".

Down: For the VE-1/For The VT-1
The unarmed types that remove the firearms from the packs for the VF-1 and also change the leg units. The aircraft that don't engage in combat missions, such as the VE-1 and VT-1, are equipped with them.

Captions: [Ai] They are composed only of additional propulsion devices, high-manoeuvrability verniers, and drop tanks.

Related Matter: Simple Model Super Parts
Among the Super Parts exist types that ought to be called "simple models", which pursue limited functions and miniaturization. These were assumed to be the ones for low cost, use both inside and outside of the atmosphere, maintaining stealthiness, and so on.

Caption: The Rocket Boosters that the Poaching Group specification VA-3C were equipped with seems to have been called a kind of simple model Super Parts.

Caption: The VF-5000 that were deployed to planet Zola were clad with only a single Booster Unit, which had a built-in micro-missile pod.

Down: For The YF-19
The ones for the YF-19 are composed of leg units, which are composed of a missile pod and conformal tank, and small shoulder units. Even when compared to the unequipped YF-19, the silhouette of the aircraft is hardly changed.

Caption: As the leg units connect to the hatches of the side weapon bays in the legs, the use of the armaments within the bays isn't obstructed.

Down: For The YF-21
The ones for the YF-21 consist of tail plane additional units and micro-missile pods for the hip panels. Similar to the ones for the YF-19, there is little outward difference when the YF-21 isn't equipped with them.

Caption: Gun pods can be mounted on the hip panels. They are also useful for improving the damage control abilities when being shot, by being torn up and discarded and so forth.

With the within-atmosphere rocket boosters which it was equipped with in "Project Super Nova", a total of two were installed on the top and bottom of the fuselage.* They were used to pursue and record the YF-21.

Related Matter: Improvements Of Strategic Mobility By Means Of Space Folds
Even though the implication differs from making a VF highly manoeuvrable, Fold Booster optional equipment has been implemented as a means to improve a sole VF's strategic mobility. With such equipment, VFs are able to correspond to all situations.

Caption: The Super Fold Booster, which could penetrate Fold Faults, was implemented at the end of the 2050's.
