Simoun (シムーン) are fictional aircraft featured in the eponymous anime series by Studio Deen and its manga adaptations.

The Simoun are considered sacred objects in the Tempus-Spatium faith because of their ability to conjure powerful magical spells known as "Ri Majons" by flying in predefined patterns in the air.

Simulacrum is defended by advanced airships known as "Simoun."

 

A Simoun is a two-seater aircraft propelled by two helical motors, based on technology left over from the fallen ancientcivilization.

 

The exact operation of the helical motor is not well understood by Simulacran technicians,but one of the two rotors apparently controls the Simoun's position in space, and the other affects the flow of time.

 

According to their religion, two priestesses descended from heaven and explained to the people how to operate the Simouns, after they were found in excavations or had just been abandoned.

 

These same priestesses are credited for teaching the people anew about Tempus-Spatium and renewing the faith and religion.

A Simoun requires two crew members to fly.

The two crew members have separate cockpits, each with its own independent flight controls and instrumentation.

 

The crew member in the forward cockpit, known as "the auriga" ,actually flies the Simoun, while the crew member in the aft cockpit, known as "the sagitta" , acts as a navigator and controls the Simoun's weapons and other accessories (however, at times in theseries it seems the sagitta affects the flying of the craft as well).

 

In episode-5, the Simoun flown by Morinas and Aerflies off-course during the Bell Ri-Majon.

 

The fault is attributed to Morinas, even though she is the sagitta.

Simulacrum also possesses one-and two-seater training aircraft similar to the Simoun, known as "Simile Simoun" (シミレ・シムーン), which are based on a less-advanced design with one somewhatsimpler helical motor.
