The Elite Flight Armor'' is a type of Elite body armor.
Introduction
The ' is an armor of the Elite race. It is the opposite to the UNSC MJOLNIR Armor, featuring a dynamic recharging Energy Shield. The Elite Flight Armor is structurally very similar to the Elite Assault Armor, and bears minimal changes, mostly on the helmet. It's likely the armour of choice for Sangheili Seraph pilots. It is obviously environmentally sealed, in case the wearer must abandon ship or is in a vacuum for any other reason. Its sealed nature would likely help the Sangheili not to inhale any Flood spores in the atmosphere added during flood terraforming. It is probable that the wearer could go underwater with this armor on, as well. It will be an armor permutation in Halo 3 multiplayer. Bungie has confirmed all of the armor permutations have no effect on gameplay.

Characteristics
Helmet Characteristics
Eye pieces are thinner and flatter, and are blue instead of yellow and are farther back in the helmet. The reason of being back farther along the helmet is akin to that of EVA, it is used in space. In space "the slightest movement of the head could send you into an uncontrolable spin", so the "viewport", if you will, must be larger. Features a pair of joined conspicuous gray circular plate at the rear of the helmet. Mandible guards are larger, featured bolts, and are fused together with a chin guard. Missing neck rings at the back of the neck. Helmet is more angular and shorter. Missing articulation lights at the back of the helmet by the cheekbone. Helmet has a pyramid shape if viewed from an angle.
