Japanese military protoype flying platform

The japanese military flying platform is a one-man aerial assualt vehicle used for hit and run attacks. It is the size of a modern day motorcycle and is shaped roughly like a cuboid shape. Mounted on the bottom is a tri-barreled chaingun which is the flying platforms main weapon. The flying platform, or "bucket," is piloted by a soldier wearing special headgear. the pilot needs to be of great skill as the platform is notroiusly hard to pilot as Kaneda soon learns. The buckets were used when Tetsuo became a threat, because they were'nt slow targets like tanks and their chainguns could do a coniderable amount of damage. in the first book of the manga Akira, Kaneda manages to destrooy a few of the platforms with a pistol, by shooting the pilot of one which crashed into the others. When the final aassualt on Tetsuo begins, the Joker uses a bucke made from the cannibalised parts of other, wreck platforms.
