| The Banshee is the [[The Covenant|Covenant's]] standard air assault aircraft. It is very fast, extremely maneuverable and in [[Halo 1]] it is capable of hovering. It has two weapon pods mounted to either side of the fuselage. Each of these pods contains a light [[Plasma Cannon|plasma cannon]] and a [[Fuel Rod Cannon|fuel rod cannon]]. Though small arms fire may disrupt or disable the pilot, only heavy weapons are capable of inflicting enough damage to destroy the vehicle.
| |
| | |
| The Banshee is propelled by small anti-gravity pods attached to its wings. These pods create the field that keeps it flying, and make wailing sounds as the craft maneuvers, thus the name "Banshee".
| |
| | |
| In [[Halo 2]], the Banshee's engines can be pushed to provide an excellent boost in speed, but at the cost of manueverability and weapon power. The Banshee also cannot hover any more, it has been replaced with a brake.
