:Lol never mind I just read this article in Popular Science about vertical takeoff and landing, so I'm wrong and you're right. --[[EliteDeath]] | |||

If I recall correctly, Fall of Reach mentions them being jump jets. Harriers aren't the only planes capable of V/STOL take off/landing. Even today, we have the F35 JSF and the XF32 (which was better, but didn't get the liscense due to a grudge the Air Force had against the company). | If I recall correctly, Fall of Reach mentions them being jump jets.

Anyone explored the possibility of these being the same aircraft? I'll email Nylund, though I doubt he knows, lacking a Halo Story Bible (Ensemble Studios would know more). | Anyone explored the possibility of these being the same aircraft?

:No, I seriously doubt it, because the Skyhawk is supposedly capable of supersonic flight, which I seriously doubt the ducted-fans of the Sparrowhawk can pull off, being sort of an advanced assault helicopter decendant. The Skyhawk is also the name for a real vehicle (the A-4 Skyhawk jet) which further suggests this is a jet aircraft.

:sorry, whoever you are, but it isn't. Since it was made by the fans, their version of the SkyHawk is classed as Non-Canon, and it can't be used. --'''UserWiki:Specops306|<font color=purple>Specops306]]</font>''', '''''[[User Talk:Specops306|<font color=blue>Kora]]</font> [[Special:Editcount/Specops306|<font color=purple>'Morhek</font>]]''''' 01:30, 7 May 2008 (UTC) | :sorry, whoever you are, but it isn't.

Like you said caliber refers to the rounds diamiter, that doesn't relate however to the length density or velocity that only means how big the bore of the gun should be not the power of the round. so even though something is only .50 caliber it can still pack a punch if the round was made out of denser materials, or was longer, or went faster. also keep in mind that the halo universe tends to use the same diamiter rounds as they did a few years in the past. I don't recall exactly what it said in the book but .50 cal. rounds wouldn't be so farfetched especially since the smaller diamiter puts the kenetic energy into a small point than 50mm. but 4 50mm would seem a little over kill especially considering that frigates and other large spacefaring craft use them as point defence turrets, so they can pack quite a punch to the somewhat large attack vessles like bording craft. also keep in mind tht 50mm is near 2 inches diamiter, that huge!!! one round can put a hell of a hurting on any kind of target in an atmosphere. that kind of fire power would be better served on something like a longsword and maybe a shortsword.[[User talk:Laghing rabt|Laghing rabt]] 18:24, October 12, 2009 (UTC) | Like you said caliber refers to the rounds diamiter, that doesn't relate however to the length density or velocity that only means how big the bore of the gun should be not the power of the round. so even though something is only .50 caliber it can still pack a punch if the round was made out of denser materials, or was longer, or went faster. also keep in mind that the halo universe tends to use the same diamiter rounds as they did a few years in the past.
