The '''Falcon Wing | The '''Falcon Wing Aerial Descent Unit''' is a parachute utilized by the [[UNSC]] for aerial insertion of soldiers. The unit consists of a pack strapped onto a soldiers back that most likely contains a black, ram-air parachute. The Falcon is controlled by two ropes on either side of the user which can be used to maneuver the parachute during descent and affords the soldier the ability to choose their landing zone. | ||
The Falcon Wing was used by Lieutenant Kurt Ambrose to test the determination of future SPARTAN-III Alpha Company when they arrived on Onyx by ordering the recruits to engage in a night jump over [[Camp Currahee]].<ref>Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, Eric Nylund, page 71-76.</ref> | |||

*It might be the same parachute used during orbital deployment by [[Maria-062]] during the [[MJOLNIR|MJOLNIR Mark VI Powered Assault Armor]] testing in [[Songnam]].<ref>''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]'': ''[[Armor Testing]]'', page 60</ref> | |||
