Talk:AV-19 SkyHawk

You put 'vertical' instead of horizontal. --User:EliteDeath 20:02, 14 September 2006


 * Lol never mind I just read this article in Popular Science about vertical takeoff and landing, so I'm wrong and you're right. --EliteDeath

Shortswords
Hey if those things in the Halo Wars trailer are Sky Hawks why dosn't anyone take a picture of them?--prophit of war 22:43, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, so those were Shortswords!--prophit of war 00:19, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

VTOL?
I dont recall the skyhawks being harriers.--64.121.58.43 09:35, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

If I recall correctly, Fall of Reach mentions them being jump jets. Harriers aren't the only planes capable of V/STOL take off/landing. Even today, we have the F35 JSF and the XF32 (which was better, but didn't get the liscense due to a grudge the Air Force had against the company).

Sparrowhawk
Anyone explored the possibility of these being the same aircraft? I'll email Nylund, though I doubt he knows, lacking a Halo Story Bible (Ensemble Studios would know more).

 * No, I seriously doubt it, because the Skyhawk is supposedly capable of supersonic flight, which I seriously doubt the ducted-fans of the Sparrowhawk can pull off, being sort of an advanced assault helicopter decendant. The Skyhawk is also the name for a real vehicle (the A-4 Skyhawk jet) which further suggests this is a jet aircraft. Murder of Crows

Fighters on Coldsnap?
Are the jets on Coldsnap (Halo CE) inspired by this aircraft? Should this be mentioned? Blast 09:31, 13 March 2008 (UTC)


 * No, because as cool as Halo:Custom Edition maps and custom vehicles are, they're mods and we have a completely different wikia for mods.  Specops306 ,  Kora 'Morhek  18:21, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Skyhawk Pic
Don't know if anyone remembers the C&C total mod called halo generals. It was scrapped when microsoft threatened to sue them if they didnt stop making it around the time that halo wars was first announced. Anyways, they had a render for a skyhawk, and I'll post it here to see if it is an appropriate pic for this website.

Edit: Sorry, I'm new here, and I can't figure out how to attach my pic I uploaded it, but I cant figure it out.


 * sorry, whoever you are, but it isn't. Since it was made by the fans, their version of the SkyHawk is classed as Non-Canon, and it can't be used. -- Specops306 ,  Kora 'Morhek  01:30, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Armament
I could have sworn the Skyhawk had a set of four 50mm autocannons in the book... .50 caliber machine guns would be pretty useless (they were becoming more and more inadequate by the end of WWII and were pretty much phased out in the 50-60s for 20mm autocannons)

For those of you who don't understand what "caliber" means, it's relating to the size in inches, so .50 caliber is a bullet with a diameter of 1/2", or 12.7mm, while the 50mm would be about 1.97 caliber. Big difference there. Murder of Crows
