==Is it concept art or canon?==
[[:File:SparrowHawk.jpg|This image]] was probably initially created as concept art, though do you guys think we can consider it canon? It doesn't inaccurately depict the Sparrowhawk and several official sources have used it to represent the Sparrowhawk. It would certainly be a much better infobox image than what we have now. Actually, to specify, either [[:File:AV-22 Sparrowhawk.png|this image]] or a cropped image of one of the Sparrowhawks from the first image would make a better infobox image. --[[User:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">'''NightHammer'''</span>]]''<sup>[[User talk:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(talk)</span>]]</sup><sup>[[Special:Contributions/NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(contribs)</span>]]</sup>'' 00:30, 11 June 2016 (EDT)

In the original canon it was said to have been introduced into (sparrowhawk) 2531 but it gets a mention into halo oblivion and that is set in 2526 so whats the story there

== Fans ==
 
they had this conversation over at the HaloWars forums, but the fans on a future aircraft do make sense. they're probably cheaper to make than jet engines, and because the craft probably is going to be hovering a helluva lot more than even a Pelican, fans would be better for this purpose than jet engines. just saying. -- [[User:Specops306|SpecOps306]] 03:40, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 
Ya, sort of like a cheaper and more effective helicopter--[[User:The Chazz025|The Chazz025]] and [[User:The Chazz025/Taliban Command (Tango Company)|Clan]] [[User:The Chazz025/Razu'Kuzumee|<sup>[]http://halofanon.wikia.com/wiki/Razu_%27Kuzumee/ Razu 'Kuzumee</sup>]] 01:23, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 
Those "fans" are almost certainly turbine driven "lift fans."  A number of craft using this technology were designed and tested in the 60's, but the technology proved impractical with current materials science.  The largest such example used a J79 Turbojet powering a fan some 2m in diameter.            Compared to a pure jet they offer less thrust but colossally higher propulsive efficiency; a key requirement for a low altitude attack aircraft that will spend the vast majority of its time hovering or moving slowly.  Additionally the fans are clearly ducted.  This allows the same ammount of lift to be generated with rotor blades up to 40% lesser in diameter.  However in order to utilise ducted fans extremely high RPMs and engine Horsepower are required; perfect territory for a jet engine.  Ducted fans are already used on a  number of UAV prototypes today.  -- JSF of WT

*'''MERGE''' - Sparrohawk is another word for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Kestrel American Kestrel] and I believe the vehicles are one and the same. The entries should be combined. [[User:Bullitt Time|Bullitt Time]] 19:02, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 
*'''Dont Merge''' - The Sparrowhawk is probably older than the Deleted [[Kestrel]]. So, I do not think it should be merged together until we get some clear details on how it operates. [[User:CommanderTony|CommanderTony]] ('''19:37, 11 March 2007 (UTC)''')

I thought the covenant glassed harvest, where goes it say the covenant invaded harvest? [[User:Halofan|HДĿΘFáṆ]] 20:20, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
 
This is likely because the Covenant tend to invade the planet before glassing it.

== Hornet ==
 
there's a debate whether the [[Hornet]] gunship is the successor to the Sparrowhawk. I don't think so - the Hornet looks less heavily armed and way smaller, so it probably serves a different role. Would the Sparrowhawk still be in service in 2552?

Does anyone think that it is? It was before the SkyHawk in the timeline, so just possibly.

NO,because you upgrade hornets to them.[[User:Sith Venator|Sith Venator]] 00:33, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 
==How many Air units==
Ok, as of middle November 2008, we just have a whole lot of material showing Hornets, Vultures, Pelicans and a unit we thought they'd deleted: the Sparrowhawk. But aren't there too many airborne units for the only UNSC? I mean, I am pretty happy yo see this beauty back, but the Halo Wars Official Site doesn't even mention it... So what are we supposed to believe?
 
I'd say Pelican's aren't constructable - perhaps they function as the transports in CnC3, where you just call them in off-screen, and they fly off once they're done? As for actual units, we have the Hornet, the Vulture and the Sparrowhawk. Perhaps the Sparrowhawk is a faction-specific unit, replacing the Hornet, unique to one leader? --'''[[CoH|<font color=purple>Councillor</font>]] [[User:Specops306|<font color=blue>Specops306</font>]]''' - '''''[[User Talk:Specops306|<font color=blue>Kora</font>]] [[userWiki:Specops306|<font color=purple>'Morhek</font>]]''''' 23:08, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
 
Good guess, well we just have to wait something more to come out telling us. I'd say Halo Wars will be similar not only to CnC3, but also to Ground Control 2...{{User:Spirit of Fire/Sig}} 0:30, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
 
I see it alot like Empire At War.Also it seems the Covenant are outnumbered in the skys.All i see are banshees and possibly a guship.[[User:Sith Venator|Sith Venator]] 00:43, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 
== hornet and sparrow hawk ==
 
according to a demo i have watched there are different unit varieties. the hornet can be upgraded to a sparrow hawk so really it is a hornet variant. sparrow hawks look awesome!!

Is it concept art or canon?[edit]

This image was probably initially created as concept art, though do you guys think we can consider it canon? It doesn't inaccurately depict the Sparrowhawk and several official sources have used it to represent the Sparrowhawk. It would certainly be a much better infobox image than what we have now. Actually, to specify, either this image or a cropped image of one of the Sparrowhawks from the first image would make a better infobox image. --NightHammer(talk)(contribs) 00:30, 11 June 2016 (EDT)

Changing the sparrowhawks date[edit]

In the original canon it was said to have been introduced into (sparrowhawk) 2531 but it gets a mention into halo oblivion and that is set in 2526 so whats the story there
