Description

Gru's airship is an extremely heavily armed airship used by Gru to transport him over large distances his car couldn't get to. It is heavily armed with a mini gun and a concealed missile launcher with many kinds of different missiles.

Inside, it is spacious. There are two seats in the front and in the back, there is a claw that can drop through a hatch in the bottom.

The airship itself is tall and quite thin. At the front it tapers to a point and a smaller one at the back. A huge rocket thruster is hung over the back point.

Plot

Despicable Me

Gru initially uses his airship to steal the SR-6 from a East Asian research lab, only to have Vector steal the shrink ray from the former. Gru attempts to shoot down Vector with his entire armament but fails miserably and gets his ship shrunk as a result. Gru is forced to ride his shrunken airship all the way back to home.

After a considerable amount of time, the airship grew back to its original size. Dr. Nefario used it to rescue Gru from falling to death from Vector's escape pod. The duo then used the airship to open the escape pod's hatch and rescue Margo, Edith, and Agnes.

Despicable Me 2

After returning to Gru's lair with the PX-41 Antidote, Dr. Nefario mounted jelly mini guns on the airship and stocked handheld jelly guns inside the plane. Nefario subsequently rescued Gru with it at El Macho's lair. He, Margo, Edith, Agnes, and a few other Minions then landed the ship in the courtyard to take down the rest of the Evil Minions.
