One of the oldest Jump Jet designs known, the LFT-50 was first used in [[2457]] in the first versions of the [[Shadow Hawk]]. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the design is that the system is essentially unremarkable. In almost seven centuries of production there is a lack of commentary describing the system as particularly good in any respect nor are there reports of significant flaws in the design.

Initially the [[Spider#Variants|SDR-8R ''Spider'']] was designed with a novel partially winged design that proved unworkable. In place of the hybrid wing system the LFT-20X series of jump jets was built and installed in the SDR-8R allowing for a 25% increase in jump capacity.
