Its name is a rough translation of ''[[Faolchu]]'', who in Eldar mythology was the consort of the Great Hawk and during the [[War in Heaven (Eldar)|War in Heaven]] retrieved the sword [[Anaris]] from [[Vaul]], thereby enabling [[Eldanesh]] to continue his combat with [[Khaine]]. This principle of delivering the sword is represented in the Falcon's design, taking the fight to the enemy and retrieving beleaguered troops if the combat becomes too fierce.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3a3b}}

Thanks to these powerful devices a Falcon can achieve speeds of up to 800 kph and soar to altitudes much higher than the equivalent [[Imperial]] craft, giving it limited flight capability. The Falcon's crew of pilot and gunner will themselves be veteran pilots, having learned their craft either on [[Eldar Jetbike]]s or along a similar [[Path]], and take full advantage of these abilities, hiding within cloud cover only to swoop down on their pre-selected targets at high speed to deliver death and destruction.{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3a3b}} The Falcon can be constructed on all Eldar [[Craftworld]]s, even many [[Exodite world]]s have the limited capability to manufacture and repair the grav-tank.{{Fn|4}}

The Falcon's weapon systems can be tailored towards fighting in any role. In addition to the standard [[Pulse Laser]] the gunner's turret can mount a [[Scatter Laser]] or [[Shuriken Cannon]] for mowing down infantry, a [[Starcannon]] to deal with light armour, or a [[Bright Lance]] or [[Eldar Missile Launcher|Missile Launcher]] for increase anti-tank firepower. [[Twin-linked]] [[Shuriken Catapult]]s located beneath the pilot's cockpit can also be switched out for a single Shuriken Cannon, while the craft can be further upgraded with a [[Holo-field]], [[Spirit Stone]]s, [[Star Engine]]s and [[Vectored Engine]]s.{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3a3b}} Like all Eldar vehicles the Falcon is constructed from [[Wraithbone]] and other psycho-plastics, lightweight material which is incredibly strong and specially attuned to the Eldar's psychic abilities. This not only allows the vehicle to be controlled with both mind and body, but makes it impossible for other races to duplicate or operate the vehicle.{{Fn|3a3b}}{{Fn|3b3c}}
