The '''portable jump-jet''', | The '''Series 8 Single Operator Lift Apparatus''' ('''Series 8 SOLA'''),{{Ref/Reuse|outpost}} more commonly known as the '''portable jump-jet''',{{Ref/Game|Id=manual|HR|[[Halo: Reach manual|game manual]]}} '''jump-jet pack''',{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}}, or simply '''jetpack''', is a user-operated jet engine mounted on the back, manufactured by [[Lethbridge Industrial]] and employed by members within the [[United Nations Space Command]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} | ||
Unlike the [[thruster pack]], which is a maneuvering unit used on deep-space missions, the jump-jet is used for atmospheric low-altitude flight | ==Overview== | ||
[[File:Reach 1840061 Full.jpg||thumb|300px|ODST [[Bullfrogs]] in action with Jetpacks.]] | |||
===Design details=== | |||
The Series 8 SOLA is one of many jet packs which 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.}} | |||
The post-war era saw the use of the [[Series 12 Single Operator Lift Apparatus]] | ===Usage=== | ||
The Series 8 SOLA allowed operators to quickly scale vertical terrain.{{Ref/Reuse|outpost}} In [[2549]], a [[SPARTAN-III]] supersoldier used a Series 8 SOLA during the defense of the [[Trone]], a city on [[Meridian]]. Their jetpack would later be hosted in the [[Outpost Discovery]] event on [[Earth]] following the war's end.{{Ref/Reuse|outpost}} During the [[Battle of Fumirole]] in 2552, [[Thom-A293]] flew into the ''[[Sanctity of Purification]]'' using the Series 8 SOLA.{{Ref/Marketing|HR|Deliver Hope}} The Series 8 was also utilised by the [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]]' "[[Bullfrogs]]" during the war, including the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552]]. During the battle, Bullfrogs used their jetpacks to combat Covenant infantry forces in the [[Siege of New Alexandria]] alongside [[SPARTAN-B312]].{{Ref/Level|HR|Exodus}} | |||
The post-war era saw the use of the Series 9,{{Ref/Novel|MorDi|Page=315}} and later the [[Series 12 Single Operator Lift Apparatus|Series 12 jetpack]] designed specifically for [[SPARTAN-IV]] personnel but also utilized more broadly.{{Ref/Site|Id=guide|URL=http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/ddd38ad0-c23b-4d6c-be78-601c9f234445/jet-pack|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 Interactive Guide - Armor Abilities: Jet pack|D=01|M=05|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Armor Abilities}} | |||
