Talk:AV-22 Sparrowhawk

looks more like commander tony wanted 2 include a fictional template thing

All of my pics and information comes from this:

All of the weapons come from speculation that is probably right CommanderTony 17:34, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Fans
they had this conversation over at the HaloWars forums, but the fans on a future aircraft do make sense. they're probably cheaper to make than jet engines, and because the craft probably is going to be hovering a helluva lot more than even a Pelican, fans would be better for this purpose than jet engines. just saying. -- SpecOps306 03:40, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Ya, sort of like a cheaper and more effective helicopter--The Chazz025 and Clan []http://halofanon.wikia.com/wiki/Razu_%27Kuzumee/ Razu 'Kuzumee 01:23, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Those "fans" are almost certainly turbine driven "lift fans." A number of craft using this technology were designed and tested in the 60's, but the technology proved impractical with current materials science. The largest such example used a J79 Turbojet powering a fan some 2m in diameter. Compared to a pure jet they offer less thrust but colossally higher propulsive efficiency; a key requirement for a low altitude attack aircraft that will spend the vast majority of its time hovering or moving slowly. Additionally the fans are clearly ducted. This allows the same ammount of lift to be generated with rotor blades up to 40% lesser in diameter. However in order to utilise ducted fans extremely high RPMs and engine Horsepower are required; perfect territory for a jet engine. Ducted fans are already used on a number of UAV prototypes today. -- JSF of WT

Merge Kestrel and Sparrowhawk

 * MERGE - 3
 * DONT MERGE - 7


 * MERGE - Sparrohawk is another word for American Kestrel and I believe the vehicles are one and the same. The entries should be combined. Bullitt Time 19:02, 11 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Dont Merge - The Sparrowhawk is probably older than the Deleted Kestrel. So, I do not think it should be merged together until we get some clear details on how it operates. CommanderTony (19:37, 11 March 2007 (UTC))


 * Dont Merge - ^Agreed. Bullitt Time 19:52, 11 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Don't Merge - It may be similar, or an evolution from the design, but it is NOT the same vehicle, despite any similarities. -- SpecOps306 04:26, 27 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge - Not much we can say about the Kestrel, so it could make a nice addition to the Sparrowhawk's trivia section. -- Dragon<font color="FF0000">c laws ( talk ) 22:05, 27 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Dont Merge- Its like it but dont merge you need to saw itonly the rotatory wings and kestrel have like 3 forms. Clavix2


 * Don't Merge* There isn't a need to merge them because they're two different vehicles whether or not from the same design.-- Joshua 029 13:37, 4 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Don't merge  Never have any official said that they are the same. And they do not look the same. Oh, and it is the 25th century,  not the 21th. So what if they are the same? As long as they have different names, I will not agree. - R1e2u3b4e5n6 15:17, 6 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Don't merge* Theyre 2 seperate things.--Spartan 1138 17:53, 9 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I Think we can officially say that the Sparrowhawk and the Kestrel should not be merged together into one article. Therefore, I am removing the merging thing at the top of the page. ((CommanderTony 00:07, 13 April 2007 (UTC)))


 * MERGE The Sparrowhawk is a Kestrel if I've ever seen one. (or piloted one.)--[[Image:Glider.png|20px]] <font color="Black">ΓΣH  ÜBΣR  <font color="Black">Ð1G1P4ΓÐ  14:46, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

sparrowhawk on harvest?
I thought the covenant glassed harvest, where goes it say the covenant invaded harvest? HДĿΘFáṆ 20:20, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

This is likely because the Covenant tend to invade the planet before glassing it.

Hornet
there's a debate whether the Hornet gunship is the successor to the Sparrowhawk. I don't think so - the Hornet looks less heavily armed and way smaller, so it probably serves a different role. Would the Sparrowhawk still be in service in 2552?  Kora ‘Morhekee   The Battle-Net  My Conquests.  07:00, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Apparentely there was an exerp in contact harvest that Hornets were in service in 2527 so the sparrowhawk could still be in service SWEARINGMONK

Ducted Fans
does anyone else think that the fans on the wings are Ducted Fans? they sound like the perfect candidates for a aerodyne like the Sparrowhawk.  Kora ‘Morhekee   The Battle-Net  My Conquests.  01:04, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

UD-6 Talon?
It looks strangely like the UD 6 talon from BF 2142, cept its got a lot more guns and Orca fans(CnC universe man)--CHr0n0sPh3r3 12:24, 14 September 2007 (UTC)cHr0n0sPh3r3

Predecessor to the SkyHawk?
Does anyone think that it is? It was before the SkyHawk in the timeline, so just possibly. And the Hornet is the successor to the Sparrowhawk. -- Lordofmonsterisland "Roar to me"  18:02, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

NO,because you upgrade hornets to them.Sith Venator 00:33, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

How many Air units
Ok, as of middle November 2008, we just have a whole lot of material showing Hornets, Vultures, Pelicans and a unit we thought they'd deleted: the Sparrowhawk. But aren't there too many airborne units for the only UNSC? I mean, I am pretty happy yo see this beauty back, but the Halo Wars Official Site doesn't even mention it... So what are we supposed to believe?

I'd say Pelican's aren't constructable - perhaps they function as the transports in CnC3, where you just call them in off-screen, and they fly off once they're done? As for actual units, we have the Hornet, the Vulture and the Sparrowhawk. Perhaps the Sparrowhawk is a faction-specific unit, replacing the Hornet, unique to one leader? -- Councillor  Specops306  -  Kora   'Morhek  23:08, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Good guess, well we just have to wait something more to come out telling us. I'd say Halo Wars will be similar not only to CnC3, but also to Ground Control 2... 0:30, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
