The Hornet is an atmospheric craft and as such cannot be deployed by orbital vessels unless a ship rated for atmospheric entry can deliver it to the battlefield. It is easier for the Hornet to be deployed from an air base located on the surface than from a ship. | The AV-14 is a vertical take off and landing vehicle (VTOL) that has been in service since the [[Insurrection]],<ref>'''Halo Legends''', ''Origins''</ref> at least as early as [[2524]].<ref name="enyc">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''', ''page 248''</ref><ref name="evo">'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "Dirt", ''page 113''</ref> It serves as the UNSC's primary assault, search and reconnaissance, and close air support aircraft.
