===Pitban LFT-10===

The LFT-10 series was unveiled in [[2650]] at part of the [[Spider|SDR-5V ''Spider'']] program. A notable design, providing top of the line maneuvering ability while still being easy to install. The LFT-10 pack in the Spider has the ability to pivot in midair while maintaining sufficient control to maintain the Mech's intended course. This marked agility can make the Spider a difficult target to engage.

===Pitban LFT-50===
 +
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.

Pitban LFT-10[edit]

The LFT-10 series was unveiled in 2650 at part of the SDR-5V Spider program. A notable design, providing top of the line maneuvering ability while still being easy to install. The LFT-10 pack in the Spider has the ability to pivot in midair while maintaining sufficient control to maintain the Mech's intended course.

Improved Jump Jets[edit]

Based on information given to the Inner Sphere by Clan Wolf-in-Exile, Pitban's improved jump jet models are heavier than their standard models, but can propel 'Mechs further.[10]

Initially the 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.
