The Flight harness is a specialized Sangheili harness developed for use with Covenant strikecraft such as the Keljiric-pattern Tarasque and N'weo-pattern Gigas.

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

While structurally similar to the Assault harness, the helmet features a hyper-wave link for cleaner craft interactions and a mouth piece that retains a multi-port for use with older Tarasque-class heavy fighters and Gigas-class fighter-bombers.^[1] The eye pieces are thinner, flatter, and are a light-sided blue or cyan instead of yellow and are farther back in the helmet than that of the Assault and Combat harnesses. The reason of being back farther along the helmet is akin in usage to that of EVA-class Mjolnir, as it is used in space. It features a pair of joined conspicuous gray circular plates located at the rear of the helmet, and a flexible neck guard, which is most likely vacuum sealed.

The Flight helmet's mandible guards are larger, feature bolts, and are fused together with a chin guard. Missing neck rings at the back of the neck. The helmet is more angular and shorter. Missing articulation lights at the back of the helmet by the cheek bone. The helmet has a pyramid shape if viewed from a certain angle.

The more compact deltoid armor has less of an impact on the elite's range of motion in the cramped compartments of subluminal space craft and reduces overall fatigue in multi-phase interdiction missions^[1] - this shoulder pauldron is truncated and has a circular device at its center. The thoracic cage features an "I" shaped metal plate with a series of V shaped blue/cyan lights running down its length. The less cumbersome cage utilizes aligned composites to postpone the onset of fatigue and the explicit primary environment multi-port is less restrictive than older helmet multi-port.^[1]

Usage[edit]

The Flight harness is used by Sangheili strikecraft pilots.

In-game information[edit]

Halo 3[edit]

The Flight harness is unlockable as an armor permutation for Elite characters in Halo 3.

Helmet	Description	Unlock requirements (Halo 3)	Unlock requirements (Halo: MCC)
Flight	Helmet: Sealed helmet equipped with hyper-wave link for cleaner craft interaction; mouth piece retains multi-port for use in older TARASQUE heavy fighters and GIGAS fighter-bombers.	Earn the Campaign Complete: Heroic achievement.	Unlocked by default.
	Chest: Less cumbersome cage utilizing aligned composites postpones onset of fatigue: explicit primary environment multi-port less restrictive then the older helmet based multi-port.	Complete Tsavo Highway on Heroic difficulty.
	Shoulders: Compact deltoid protection has less impact on range of motion in cramped crew area of subliminal military craft: decrease overall fatigue during multi - phase interdiction missions.	Complete The Ark on Heroic difficulty.

-==Introduction==
+The Flight helmet's mandible guards are larger, feature bolts, and are fused together with a chin guard. Missing neck rings at the back of the neck. The helmet is more angular and shorter. Missing articulation lights at the back of the helmet by the cheek bone. The helmet has a pyramid shape if viewed from a certain angle.
-The '''Flight Harness''' is a harness for the [[Elite]] race. It features a dynamic, recharging [[Energy Shield]]. The Elite Flight Harness is structurally very similar to the [[Assault Harness|Elite Assault Harness]]. It bears minimal changes when compared to the Assault Harness, most of which are on the helmet. It's likely the armour of choice for [[Sangheili]] [[Seraph|Seraph]] pilots or [[Banshee]] pilots and it is obviously environmentally sealed, in case the wearer must abandon ship or is in a vacuum for any other reason. Its sealed nature would likely help the Sangheili not to inhale any [[Flood]] spores in the atmosphere when the Flood [[terraforming|terraform the atmosphere]]. It is an [[Armor Permutation]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[Multiplayer]]. [[Bungie]] has confirmed all of the Armour Permutations have no effect on gameplay. Any player that beat Halo 3 on [[Heroic]] or [[Legendary]] will obtain this armour.

-Eye pieces are thinner, flatter, and are a light-sided blue or cyan instead of yellow and are farther back in the helmet than that of the [[Assault Harness]] and [[Elite]] variant of armour. The reason of being back farther along the helmet is akin in usage to that of [[EVA]], as it is used in space. In space "the slightest movement of the head could send you into an uncontrollable spin", so the visor must be larger. Features a pair of joined conspicuous gray circular plates located at the rear of the helmet.

-Mandible guards are larger, feature bolts, and are fused together with a chin guard. Missing neck rings at the back of the neck.
