Skyhawk Atmospheric 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]
The Skyhawk is commonly mistaken for the Shortsword in the trailer for Halo Wars.
