A '''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. ~~[[Spartan-II]]s on descent~~ from ~~low-orbit may use them to land safely on~~ the ~~planet's surface instead~~ of ~~using~~ [[~~HEV~~]]s.~~<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.

[[Maria-062]] used a parafoil while testing ~~the~~ [[~~MJOLNIR Mark VI~~]] [[armor]].

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]].<ref>'''Halo Graphic Novel''': ''Armor Testing'', page 60</ref>

==~~Operation~~==

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>

~~The parafoils are most likely made from extremely strong materials, as it would take more durable materials to hold over 1,000 pounds of armor and soldier in the air.~~
