As one of the pioneers of modern airship technology, the Dragonfly was the first to utilize an electromagnetic levitation system that allowed for vertical takeoff.

Once the suspect has been incapacitated, a device launches a capture net to hold them in place, lifting them up into the ship’s holding area.
The pilot area boasts a spacious 270-degree viewing canopy, making it perfect for conducting surveillance. Even higher-ranking I.V.P.D. officers are privileged enough to use these ships for private use.
