==Is it concept art or canon?==
looks more like commander tony wanted 2 include a fictional template thing {{unsigned|Forerunner}}
[[:File:SparrowHawk.jpg|This image]] was probably initially created as concept art, though do you guys think we can consider it canon? It doesn't inaccurately depict the Sparrowhawk and several official sources have used it to represent the Sparrowhawk. It would certainly be a much better infobox image than what we have now. Actually, to specify, either [[:File:AV-22 Sparrowhawk.png|this image]] or a cropped image of one of the Sparrowhawks from the first image would make a better infobox image. --[[User:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">'''NightHammer'''</span>]]''<sup>[[User talk:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(talk)</span>]]</sup><sup>[[Special:Contributions/NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(contribs)</span>]]</sup>'' 00:30, 11 June 2016 (EDT)


== Changing the sparrowhawks date ==
All of my pics and information comes from this:


In the original canon it was said to have been introduced into (sparrowhawk) 2531 but it gets a mention into halo oblivion and that is set in 2526 so whats the story there

== Fans ==
 
they had this conversation over at the HaloWars forums, but the fans on a future aircraft do make sense. they're probably cheaper to make than jet engines, and because the craft probably is going to be hovering a helluva lot more than even a Pelican, fans would be better for this purpose than jet engines. just saying. -- [[User:Specops306|SpecOps306]] 03:40, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 
Ya, sort of like a cheaper and more effective helicopter--[[User:The Chazz025|The Chazz025]] and [[User:The Chazz025/Taliban Command (Tango Company)|Clan]] [[User:The Chazz025/Razu'Kuzumee|<sup>[]http://halofanon.wikia.com/wiki/Razu_%27Kuzumee/ Razu 'Kuzumee</sup>]] 01:23, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 
Those "fans" are almost certainly turbine driven "lift fans."  A number of craft using this technology were designed and tested in the 60's, but the technology proved impractical with current materials science.  The largest such example used a J79 Turbojet powering a fan some 2m in diameter.            Compared to a pure jet they offer less thrust but colossally higher propulsive efficiency; a key requirement for a low altitude attack aircraft that will spend the vast majority of its time hovering or moving slowly.  Additionally the fans are clearly ducted.  This allows the same ammount of lift to be generated with rotor blades up to 40% lesser in diameter.  However in order to utilise ducted fans extremely high RPMs and engine Horsepower are required; perfect territory for a jet engine.  Ducted fans are already used on a  number of UAV prototypes today.  -- JSF of WT

== Hornet ==
 
there's a debate whether the [[Hornet]] gunship is the successor to the Sparrowhawk. I don't think so - the Hornet looks less heavily armed and way smaller, so it probably serves a different role. Would the Sparrowhawk still be in service in 2552? [[Image:HalfJaw03.jpg|20px]] '''[[User:Specops306|<font color=purple>Kora ‘Morhekee]]</font>''' ''[[User talk:Specops306|<font color=black>The Battle-Net</font>]] [[Special:Contributions/Specops306|<font color=purple>My Conquests.</font>]]'' 07:00, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 
Apparentely there was an exerp in contact harvest that Hornets were in service in 2527 so the sparrowhawk could still be in service SWEARINGMONK
 
== Ducted Fans==
 
does anyone else think that the fans on the wings are [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ducted_fan  Ducted Fans]? they sound like the perfect candidates for a aerodyne like the Sparrowhawk.

well seeing as how the sparrowhawk is an upgrade to the hornet it would likly have a similar propulsion system to the horned, and if you notice in halo 3 the hornet has a small blue cone of fire underneth it indicating they are relly very stubby jets. it would still have ducted fans on them, but as a part of the jet engine, not the main propulsion system.[[User talk:Laghing rabt|Laghing rabt]] 22:24, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

== Predecessor to the SkyHawk? ==
 
Does anyone think that it is? It was before the SkyHawk in the timeline, so just possibly. And the Hornet is the successor to the Sparrowhawk. --[[User:Lordofmonsterisland| <font color="green">Lordofmonsterisland]]</font>[[User talk:Lordofmonsterisland| <font color="green">"Roar to me"</font>]] 18:02, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 
NO,because you upgrade hornets to them.[[User:Sith Venator|Sith Venator]] 00:33, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 
==How many Air units==
Ok, as of middle November 2008, we just have a whole lot of material showing Hornets, Vultures, Pelicans and a unit we thought they'd deleted: the Sparrowhawk. But aren't there too many airborne units for the only UNSC? I mean, I am pretty happy yo see this beauty back, but the Halo Wars Official Site doesn't even mention it... So what are we supposed to believe?
 
I'd say Pelican's aren't constructable - perhaps they function as the transports in CnC3, where you just call them in off-screen, and they fly off once they're done? As for actual units, we have the Hornet, the Vulture and the Sparrowhawk. Perhaps the Sparrowhawk is a faction-specific unit, replacing the Hornet, unique to one leader? --'''[[CoH|<font color=purple>Councillor</font>]] [[User:Specops306|<font color=blue>Specops306</font>]]''' - '''''[[User Talk:Specops306|<font color=blue>Kora</font>]] [[userWiki:Specops306|<font color=purple>'Morhek</font>]]''''' 23:08, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
 
Good guess, well we just have to wait something more to come out telling us. I'd say Halo Wars will be similar not only to CnC3, but also to Ground Control 2...{{User:Spirit of Fire/Sig}} 0:30, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

according to a demo i have watched there are different unit varieties. the hornet can be upgraded to a sparrow hawk so really it is a hornet variant. sparrow hawks look awesome!!

==The Hawk's so called laser beams==
 
Ok, this article states that the hawk has a mounted laser, but I'm not sure that is the case. I compared to the beam fire by the Hawk's nose gun to that of the SPARTAN laser and to the round fired by the gauss hog. Both I and all of the five people I showed my results to all agreed that the round fired by the Hawk resembles the Gauss cannon more than the SPARTAN laser.
 
Thoughts?

The hawk actually armed with blue laser cannon, if you look closely you'll see that it looks just like the beam fired from SPARTAN laser, just blue, and the round fired from gauss hog looks bit different.

== Hawk Variant ==
 
The Skyhawk could just be another variant / upgrade of the Hornet.
 
== gunship ==
 
if the sparrowhawk is a tru gunship then why would it be used as air support and air escort, gunships are slow and bulky so they are relitvly bad at fighting off other aircraft so they can relly only by used once air supriorty has been gained; a gunships primary purpose is to attack ground units with overwelming force, and generally have only a few air to air weapons for self defence. I can see the hornet as a gunship with its slow speed and massive power, but the sparrowhawk is more manuverable and is used as air support and air escort, so therefore it would be a strikefighter not a gunship. the role of gunships seems to be very easily fit by a pelican.

:Nope. Sparrowhawks use a ducted fan system for propulsion. These fans push against air to create lift. On top of that, steering control comes from the rudders in the back.

:We should keep it.

Trust me, I've been a ''C&C'' fanatic since long before I discovered ''Halo''.
