The '''SkyHawk''' is a [[United Nations Space Command]] jumpjet strike fighter.<ref name="for261">'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 261''</ref> | |||
The SkyHawk' | |||
=== | ==Background== | ||
Several | The SkyHawk jumpjet is capable of supersonic flight and can execute quick turns and maximum speed. The SkyHawk jumpjet is equipped with four 50mm cannons as well as [[Scorpion missile|Scorpion anti-tank missiles]].<ref name="for261"/> Several such fighters were located at [[Fairchild Field]] on [[Reach]] during the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552|summer 2552]]. On [[2552#August|August 30]], 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 name="for261"/> | ||
== | ==Trivia== | ||
*The SkyHawk is not in keeping with the UNSC's tradition of naming atmospheric vehicles after real animals, with the exceptions of the [[Cyclops]] and [[Gremlin]], which are named after mythical creatures, and the [[Longsword]], [[Shortsword]], and [[Sabre]], which are named after bladed weapons. | |||
*In the ''[[Halo: Fall of Reach]]'' comic book series, the SkyHawk is portrayed by a [[AV-22 Sparrowhawk]]; one of the many details in the adaptation that deviate from the original novel. | |||
