The Hawk is a VTOL gunship used and created by the mercaneries of Aetos.

History
Under Construction

Appearance
The Hawk has design elements from a mixture of VTOL aircraft from the 21st century, most prominently the Harrier Jump-Jet, and attack helicopter gunships such as the AH-64 Apache and the AH-1 Cobra. It consists of an elongated fuselage with stubby wings on each side of it.

The cockpit is forward mounted, and the tail section juts out from behind the fuselage at a downward angle. Each wing incorporates a Ducted Air Fan for lift and thrust, and carries three missiles/rockets on pylons and a twin auto-cannon on each, with a Laser weapon mounted underneath the cockpit.

Performance
The Hawk is a fast and maneuverable aircraft, and makes use of ducted fans in the wings to provide lift and thrust, and is equipped with wing-mounted rapid fire cannons as well as a nose-mounted Laser Rifle, allowing it to engage enemy infantry, vehicles and aircraft, making for an aircraft of extreme tactical versatility.

Trivia

 * The Hawk draws heavily from the Sparrowhawk of the Halo series.
