== Design details == | |||
The SkyHawk is a supersonic VTOL-capable jumpjet 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 [[Scorpion missile|Scorpion anti-tank missiles]].{{Ref/Reuse|TFOR27}} | |||

== 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}} | Several SkyHawks were located at [[Fairchild Field|Fairchild Airfield]] on [[Reach]] during the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552|summer 2552]].
