Possibly, but it's not proof until there's a mention or observation of space flight. To me it just looks like a vertical takeoff airplane.

:VTOL?? These ships clearly are not VTOL. I mean, if they did, they'd have some kind of downward-facing turbine, rotor blade, or something! Those engines are like the engines on a jet cargo/passenger liner, or a space shuttle of sorts. A jet liner needs a runway to take off; a space shuttle is a little bit different in that it must "blast off" vertically into space, but aesthetically almost same configuration. These ships probably use Reach's gravity to "slingshot" through the atmosphere and into space, all while horizontal. Backwards thrust, not downwards. --[[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 15:05, 24 November 2011 (EST)Xamikaze330 | :VTOL?? These ships clearly are not VTOL.

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7UzARs2Y7A&t=1m52s Watch the scene again.] It clearly rises into the air without the need of a runway. And without propellors, just like [[UNSC frigates]].
