The Flight Harness.

The Flight Harness is a type of Elite body Harness.

Introduction

The Flight Harness is an Harness of the Elite race. It is analagous to the UNSC EVA Armor, featuring a dynamic recharging Energy Shield. The Elite Flight Harness is structurally very similar to the Elite Assault Harness, and bears minimal changes, mostly on the helmet. It's likely the armour of choice for Sangheili Seraph pilots. 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 added during flood terraforming. It is probable that the wearer could go underwater with this Harness on, as well. It will be an armor permutation in Halo 3 multiplayer. Bungie has confirmed all of the armor permutations have no effect on gameplay.

Development and History

The sealed 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. The more compact deltoid armor has less impact on range of actions in the cramped compartments of subluminal space craft and reduces overall fatigue in multi-phase interdiction missions. The less cumbersome cage utilizes aligned composites to postpone the onset of fatigue and the explicit primary enviroment multi-port is less restrictive that older helmet based ones.

Characteristics

Helmet Characteristics

Eye pieces are thinner and flatter, and are blue instead of yellow and are farther back in the helmet. The reason of being back farther along the helmet is akin to that of EVA, it is used in space. In space "the slightest movement of the head could send you into an uncontrollable spin", so the "viewport", if you will, must be larger. Features a pair of joined conspicuous gray circular plate 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. Helmet is more angular and shorter. Missing articulation lights at the back of the helmet by the cheekbone. Helmet has a pyramid shape if viewed from an angle.

Deltoid Protection Characteristics

The Deltoid Protection is truncated and has at its center a circular device.

Thoracic Cage Characteristics

The Thoracic Cage features a I shaped metal plate with a series of U shaped blue lights running down its length.
