The Series 8 SOLA is one of many that have evolved dramatically over twenty sequential generations of development.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} Early engagements with the [[Covenant]] in densely-packed urban contexts proved out the value of portable jump-jet systems like the Series 8 SOLA.{{Ref/Reuse|outpost}} Unlike the [[thruster pack]], which is a maneuvering unit used on deep-space missions, the jump-jet is used for atmospheric low-altitude flight. 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/Reuse|manual}} As of [[2552]], it is considered the newest model of jetpacks.{{Ref/Reuse|manual}} [[Cascade Stronghold Technologies]]]] has also manufactured [[Jump Jet attachments|safety restraints]] to be used with the jump jet.{{Ref/Game|Id=HR|HR|Armor customization (Halo: Reach)|Armory|Detail=Jump Jet - Shoulders Description|Quote=Early prototype safety restraints for use with extant Jump Jet equipment.}}
