AV-49 Wasp

The AV-49 Wasp is a VTOL aircraft in service with the United Nations Space Command. The AV-49 shares several similarities with its fellow aerodynes, the AV-14 Hornet, AV-19 SkyHawk, AV-22 Sparrowhawk, and AV-30 Kestrel. The AV-49 features an integrated VTOL propulsion system that combines a turbojet with dual lift fans, autocannon armament, and cyberlink-compatible fly-by-light avionics.

The AV-49 Wasp was developed alongside the STINGER-class Mjolnir, which has two neural interface controllers to allow the operator to switch from air attack to ground attack.

Production notes
The Wasp was originally going to be featured in Halo 4, but was cut early in development.
