The | The '''portable jump-jet''',<ref name="manual">'''Halo: Reach''', ''game manual''</ref> more commonly known as the '''jetpack''', is a user-operated jet engine mounted on the back, developed by the [[United Nations Space Command]]. | ||
Unlike the [[thruster pack]], which is a maneuvering unit used on deep-space missions, the jump-jet is used for atmospheric low-altitude flight. It is known to be used to an extent by specialized [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marine]] units, including the [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODST]] [[Bullfrogs]]. Unlike the earlier versions, the latest models of the portable jump-jet have enough thrust power to lift more than half a ton, or the equivalent weight of a [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR]]-clad [[SPARTAN Program|SPARTAN supersoldier]].<ref name="manual"/> The UNSC has also developed [[Jump jet safety restraints|safety restraints]] to be used with the jump jet.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', ''Armory''</ref> | |||
The post-war era saw the use of the Series 9<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 315''</ref> and later the [[Series 12 Single Operator Lift Apparatus]] model designed specifically for [[SPARTAN-IV]] personnel but also utilized more broadly.<ref>[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/ddd38ad0-c23b-4d6c-be78-601c9f234445/jet-pack '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Halo 4 Intel - Jetpack'']</ref> | |||
