− | ==Description==
| + | *The ''[[Partial Wing_(BattleMech)|Partial Wing (BattleMech)]]'', system created by [[Clan Jade Falcon]] that allows Mechs to glide in the air. Later developed for ProtoMechs. |
− | First designed by [[Clan Jade Falcon]] in [[3061]] and entering production in [[3067]], the partial wing system offers increased jump capability comparable to the [[improved jump jet]] system, but also increases the rate of heat dissipation. Not to be confused with the [[Land-Air 'Mech]] concept, the partial wing system is a fixed wing system that allows a 'Mech to glide an additional 60 meters when using normal [[jump jet]]s. In addition, its large surface area allows a 'Mech to more efficiently radiate excess heat. The technology was later adapted for use for [[ProtoMechs]] by [[Clan Blood Spirit]] starting in [[3063]] and entering production by [[3070]].<ref>''Tactical Operations'', p. 292</ref>
| + | *The ''[[Partial_Wing_(Battle_Armor)|Partial Wing (Battle Armor)]]'', a Battle Armor counterpart to the BattleMech version of the equipment designed by the [[Draconis Combine]] for their [[Kage]] suits and other Battle Armor. |

− | The Partial Wing is classified as experimental technology as of 3067. However, by [[3085]] the technology reclassifed as [[Advanced Technology]] becoming more available for limited production.<ref>''Technical Readout: Prototypes''. p. 206 - BattleMech & ProtoMech Partial Wings get reclassified as Advanced Technology.</ref>
