| | | A '''parafoil''' is a parachute in the shape of an airfoil. [[Spartan-II]]s on descent from low-orbit may use them to land safely on the planet's surface.<ref>[[Halo Graphic Novel]], page 60</ref> |

| The '''parafoil''' is a triangular parachute in the shape of an airfoil, which is similar to the shape of airplane or the wings of a glider. Parafoils are most likely made from extremely strong materials, as some are capable of supporting the weight of an armored [[SPARTAN Program|SPARTAN]]: approximately 1,000 pounds. The deployment package for a parafoil is known as an [[airfoil carapace]].
| |
| | |
| SPARTANs descending from low orbit may use parafoils in lieu of [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|SOEIVs]]. For example, [[Maria-062]] used a parafoil while testing [[John-117]]'s [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|Mark VI MJOLNIR armor]]. They are also used by [[UNSC Army Airborne]].<ref>'''Halo Graphic Novel: Armor Testing''', ''page 60''</ref>

| The [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/HP|MJOLNIR/HP series]] is designed to function with parafoils. The MJOLNIR/HP/Parafoil and HP/Parafoil/[R] variants are specifically designed for compatibility with the G-25 PAS Airfoil Carapace.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', ''Armory''</ref>
