Girls & Air In this world, there is a martial art known as Kokudo (The Way of Aviation). To put it simply, it is similar to Girls und Panzer. Rules issued by the Kokudo Federation and the Steering Committee: 1. Any aircraft designed, manufactured, prototyped, or mass-produced by the end of WWII is eligible. 2. Jet and turboprop aircraft must sortie from the rear at least 10 minutes after the start of the match. 3. The school's personal mark and the team's personal mark must be painted on the wingtips and vertical stabilizer of the aircraft. 4. Aircraft classified as bombers, such as strategic bombers, dive bombers, torpedo bombers, and tactical bombers, are not allowed to participate. (In the case of transporting athletes or supplies, they are permitted only if they are in a disarmed state.) 5. In the event of aircraft trouble or contact, the pilot must deploy high-altitude flight smoke, leave the combat airspace, and promptly land on the runway of a General High-Altitude Maintenance, Supply, and Rest Station on the ground. (6.) Rules and regulations may be modified hereafter, and such changes will be reported as they occur. Safety Measures: 1. All armaments must use blank ammunition. 2. Slight differences in muzzle velocity and trajectory may occur depending on the chosen ammunition type. 3. All hits are determined by sensors. High-altitude flight smoke in a color of the pilot's choice will be deployed from both wingtips of an aircraft judged to be shot down. 4. The mounting of bombs, rockets, etc., is strictly prohibited depending on the match format. 5. The Kokudo Federation and the Steering Committee mandate G-suit measurements at the beginning of each semester and provide suits tailored to those measurements. 6. Overlapping with Rule 5, in the event of aircraft trouble or contact between aircraft, deploy high-altitude flight smoke and promptly land on the runway of a ground-based General High-Altitude Maintenance, Supply, and Rest Station. If a wing breaks or a similar emergency occurs, deploy the mandatory parachute designated by the Kokudo Federation and the Steering Committee to safely exit the aircraft. 7. If an injury or a life-threatening condition occurs during a match, treatment, first aid, and surgery will be covered by the Kokudo Federation and the Steering Committee's compensation. Match Formats: Annihilation, Ground Attack, and Flag Matches. Annihilation: As the name implies, the school that judges all of the opposing school's aircraft as shot down wins. Mounting bombs, rockets, etc., is strictly prohibited. Ground Attack: Use machine guns, gun pods, bombs, rockets, etc., to destroy ground targets. The side with the higher destruction score wins. Attacking the opposing school's aircraft is prohibited. Flag Match: One aircraft from each school has a red flag line painted on its fuselage; if it is shot down, the school that shot it down wins. Mounting bombs, rockets, etc., is strictly prohibited. While Girls und Panzer uses ships, this world uses rigid airships with flight decks. The shape is similar to the Hagoromo-maru from The Magnificent Kotobuki. Kokudo has long been practiced as a traditional art for girls. It symbolizes a girl's bravery, decisiveness, and strength of heart, and is sure to lead to a promising future.
