== | ==Overview== | ||
===Design details=== | |||
The SkyHawk is a supersonic VTOL-capable jump-jet that can execute quick turns at high speeds. The fighter bears a very strong resemblance to the [[AV-22 Sparrowhawk]], though it lacks the Sparrowhawk's twin tail.{{Ref/Comic|FoRInv|Issue=1}} It is armed with four 50mm cannons that flank the cockpit, as well as two fully-customisable weapons pylons{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}} capable of fitting - among other munitions - [[Scorpion missile|Scorpion anti-tank missiles]].{{Ref/Reuse|TFOR27}} As such, the SkyHawk is capable of dealing inordinate damage relative to its small size.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |||
===Usage=== | |||
The SkyHawk's ability to execute tight turns at high speeds makes the aircraft deadly in air-to-air combat against other fighters. It is commonly used in atmospheric interception and close-range anti-infantry and anti-vehicle ground attack roles.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc11|Enc11|Page=262}} | |||
== | ===Operational history=== | ||
Several SkyHawks were located at [[Fairchild Field|Fairchild Airfield]] on [[Reach]] during the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552|summer 2552]]. On [[2552#August|August 29]], a SkyHawk was dispatched by [[Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]] to attack [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN]] [[John-117]] and the [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[Cortana]] during a test of AI integration with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V MJOLNIR armor]]. With Cortana's assistance, the SPARTAN was able to endure the SkyHawk's cannons' strafing run. He then avoided one of its guided anti-tank missile by deflecting it at the last moment. The test showed the Spartan-AI team to be far more successful than expected.{{Ref/Reuse|TFOR27}} | |||
