The XVX-016 Gundam Aerial, a pivotal mobile suit in the narrative of Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury, takes center stage as the primary mobile suit throughout the 1st Season, expertly maneuvered by the protagonist, Suletta Mercury. Acting as the standout machine that Suletta introduces to the school, the Gundam Aerial boasts a fundamental structure with joints mirroring the human body, propelled by electric motors known as EMTs.

While adhering to existing industry standards for mobile suits, this extraordinary machine, when under the control of Suletta, exhibits unparalleled performance that transcends the capabilities of ordinary pilots. Its exceptional abilities are harnessed through a novel mineral called Permet, sharing striking similarities with the forbidden GUND-ARM, colloquially known as "GUNDAM." This forbidden machine utilized the "GUND FORMAT," a groundbreaking system for mobile suits designed to enhance human augmentation. The Gundam Aerial, with its innovative design and potent capabilities, stands as a testament to the convergence of cutting-edge technology and the prowess of its skilled pilot, Suletta Mercury.
