Standard Model
Despite the fact the Order of the Black Knights had no real enemy or threat to fight against during the last ten years, Zero nevertheless requested an upgrade to their mass produced Seventh Generation Knightmare Frame, the Akatsuki, and it came in the form of the Akatsuki Tsubasa. This Ninth Generation Knightmare pushed the Akatsuki's specs to the limit, increasing almost every aspect of the Knightmare with enhanced firepower to boot. The most prominent feature of the unit is it's black colored Energy Wing system, that allows it move at ridiculous speeds and sustain flight in mid air. It comes in the standard silver, black, or green paint job and is the new standard of the Black Knights forces.

'Nagai Dagan' Type
The 'Nagai Dangan' Type the Black Knights standard Akatsuki Tsubasa frame, except it was created solely for long range combat. It abandons the standard Revolving Brake Swords in favor of a powerful Bazooka that can shoot targets from the ground and the sky with decent accuracy. Specifically for the Nagai Dangan type, the unit also possesses 'Radiant Wave' missiles that can completely disable an opposing Knightmare's machine if even one of the projectiles connects, using a high intensity field of radiation also seen being used by the Guren. Of course, all these enhanced weapons come at a price. The Nagai Dangan type is highly fragile, even more so than the standard Akatsuki Tsubasa model. The pilots of the Nagai Dangan type will have to avoid taking too many hits in battle, or else it could be the end of them.

'Banryoku' Type
The 'Banryoku' is the exact opposite of the 'Nagai Dangan' in that the Banryoku is an Akatsuki Tsubasa frame modified solely for close combat. It has an extra Slash Harken and instead of having just one Revolving Brake Sword, it has two, allowing it to perform twice as many attacks as before. The only 'projectile' the unit has is its Hand Grenades, which unleash a fragmentation blast upon a small area of the pilot's choosing. While not as good as say a tradition projectile, the Grenades allow the Banryoku to somewhat be able to control space in battle. Since the unit is supposed to charge head first into battle, its armor is much higher than that of the standard Akatsuki Tsubasa. As a trade off, however, it is much slower than the standard model or even the Nagai Dangan.
