The Prydwen

The Prydwen is a modified and heavily armored Brotherhood of Steel airship that flies throughout the skies of the Commonwealth and Boston.

Appearances
The Prydwen appears only in Fallout 4. It will show up right after the main quest Reunions is finished, flying in over the western mountain range of the map and making its way across the Commonwealth, until it finally anchors above the Boston airport. After this, the Sole Survivor can visit it during the Brotherhood of Steel quest Shadow of Steel offered by Paladin Danse.

Background
Prydwen was constructed at Adams Air Force Base over a period of eight years, taking four to collect the materials necessary to build the airship, and another four to actually construct it. Its nuclear core was evidently taken from Rivet City, as its previous core was not sufficient to power all of its systems efficiently. It is also stated that the airship weighs in at 40,000 tonnes.

The airship is thought to have hydrogen balloons to keep it suspended, due to its abundance and can be seen falling from the sky burring like crazy. This would not be achieved with any other lighter than air gas. It also seems to be able to carry a few hundred troops at the most evident by the lack of sufficient bunks. It is unknown how long the ship took to travel to Danse's position but the ship would need constant resupply duet the lack of sufficient resupply mechanisms seen on board. It would be practical to plant a hydroponic garden and install water reclamation equipment. The vertibird hook was not seen until now and the wing folding future its unique to the vertibird deployed in Boston. It is also apparent that the gas that propels the sip foword are a form of jet engine, not a propeller. There do not appear to be any lag assault weapons on board.

Behind the scenes
Prydwen (Middle Welsh- "handsome") is the name of King Arthur's ship in the native Welsh literature concerning the legendary character. Arthur and his men board it to sail to the Otherworldly fortress of Annwfn in the somewhat cryptic poem Preiddeu Annwfn, as well as when they sail to and from Ireland in the prose text Culhwch ac Olwen, in an attempt to gain a magical cauldron. It is not explicitly named in any other native Arthurian tale or poem, and in the Anglo-Norman literature that drew from it Arthur does not appear to have a comparable vessel.
