Skyhawk asmospheric fighter
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Summary
SkyHawks were older orbital jets located on major UNSC worlds. They were equipped with 4 50mm guns, as well as Scorpion Anti-Tank missiles. Several of these craft were located at Fairchild Field on Reach and one was dispatched by Colonel James Ackerson to attack the Master Chief and Cortana during their test of the MJOLNIR Mark V armor and its new shield technology in 2552.[1]
It is armed with a four sets of 50mm gatling guns, as well as a number of Scorpion Missiles which are more than capable of destroying tanks.[1]
What is assumed to be a SkyHawk can be seen in the Halo Wars trailer, during a UNSC battle against Covenant forces. However, it is actually a Shortsword that is in the trailer.
