SkyHawk Atmospheric Fighter
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Summary
SkyHawks are older orbital jets located on major UNSC worlds. They are equipped with four 50mm cannons, as well as Scorpion Anti-Tank missiles. Several of these craft were located at Fairchild Field on Reach, and one was dispatched by Colonel James Ackerson to attack the SPARTAN-117 and Cortana during their test of the MJOLNIR Mark V armor and its new shield technology in 2552.[1]
The SkyHawk is commonly mistaken for the Shortsword in the trailer for Halo Wars. It is rumored to be a vehicle in Halo 3 (unconfimed).
The SkyHawk will NOT be in Multiplayer, if it is in the game at all. The reason: The Hornet is overpowered, and it only has a small chaingun and two normal rocket launchers. The SkyHawk has 4 50mm chainguns and a fast traveling tank style rocket.
