Webmaster's notes: The quest to build a flight capable mobile suit had already been highly problematic, suffering primarily from heat and fuel problems. However, it wasn't until the forth model of a Flight Capable Gouf that the idea was finally cancelled. Armed with the 75mm hand machineguns that Zeonic Company seemed intent to use on their first flight type model, the MS-07H-4 was similar to it's predecesors, one of the few external differenes from the MS-07H being more functional and aerodynamic shoulder armor. Unfortunately, it was the first to explode in midair during a test flight, and the resources and publicity nightmare that was the Mobile Suit flight project was quickly cancelled. However, Zeon field engineers could never really get the idea out of their heads, and would continue to experiment with new designs.
