A '''jetpack''', also known as a '''jump pack''' or '''jump-jet''', is a personal propulsion device. Jetpacks give individuals limited flight capabilities, both inside and outside of gravity-intensive environments. Jetpacks are used by various species, including [[human]]s, [[Sangheili]], [[Kig-Yar]], [[Jiralhanae]], and occasionally [[Unggoy]].<ref name="ENC354">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 354'' (2011 edition)</ref><ref name="H4 Interactive Guide">[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-US/halo4guide '''Halo 4 Interactive Guide''']</ref> | A '''jetpack''', also known as a '''jump pack''' or '''jump-jet''', is a personal propulsion device.
