The Intention Craft is a fictional machine from Phillip Pullman's series His Dark Materials.
The Intention Craft is a "flying" machine, but has no engine or wings. It has a cockpit and controls like a gyropter (helicopter from one of Pullman's fantasy worlds) and six bug-like legs. However, there is helmet and leather wrapped mechanism on a string, so that the craft can be controlled by the driver's intentions. It can only be used by a being with a daemon, hence the mechanism on a string.
It is used, in the series, by Mrs Coulter, to escape Lord Asriel's fortress, by Lord Asriel, to rescue Coulter, then again by Mrs Coulter to reach The Clouded Mountain, in order to trick the Regent of Heaven, Metatron.
