空戦ポッド
A fictional [[alien]] [[starfighter]] from the [[MACROSS]] series. It first appeared in the [[Choujikuu Yousai Macross]] TV series from 1982.

The [b]Fighter Pod[/b] (空戦ポッド, [i]kuusen pod[/i]) is a [[Zentradi]] one-man tactical aerospace attack [[spacecraft]] designed for outer space and atmospheric operations. It is very fast, highly maneuverable and also armed with a triple-barreled energy cannon on its nose and several internal missile bays. 

In the TV show, its official name is obscure. But judging from some Zentradi operator's quote in [[Vrlitwhai Kridanik]]'s spaceship, it's called [b]Gnerl[/b] (ジナール). In Artdink's [[PlayStation 3]] [[ video game]], "”MACROSS 30: Ginga wo Tsunagu Utagoe”,":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macross_30:_The_Voice_that_Connects_the_Galaxy the starfighter is officially called "Gnerl".

In [[real life]] it was designed by [[Miyatake Kazutaka]] in the early 80s.
