Wings of the Skies
Mounted on the Strike Freedom's wings is a combat variant of the "Voiture Lumiere" propulsion system. Unlike the system used by the GSX-401FW Stargazer Gundam, this version uses an internal laser instead of solar winds or an external power beam to convert its energy into strong light pressure for thrust. The system operates at maximum power when all Super DRAGOONs are launched, though it can also function with them attached if they are slightly separated from the main wings.
Once activated, the system allows the unit to accelerate to incredible speeds and rapidly evade even the most intense enemy beam attacks. Similar to the system on the ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam, the Strike Freedom's system produces a light effect known as "Wings of Light." However, the Strike Freedom's effect takes the shape of blue wings and is also known as the "Wings of the Skies."
