F-41 Exoatmospheric Multirole Strike Fighter

The F-41 Exoatmospheric Multirole Strike Fighter, also known as the Broadsword, is a versatile and well armed A/X strike fighter typically used to engage equal or superior enemy craft in low to zero gravity conditions. As its kind has few equals within humanity's arsenal, the Broadsword was designed to address the incredible firepower displayed by the fighters of the Covenant such as the Seraph and Space Banshee.

Gameplay
The Broadsword is piloted by Master Chief in the Halo 4 campaign level Midnight. This is the only time the Broadsword is usable.

Trivia

 * This fighter is named after a sword like most of the UNSC fighters, such as the B-69 Shortsword, GA-TL1 Longsword and YSS-1000 Sabre
 * This vehicle can be seen in the E3 2012 live action trailer "Commissioning". Many of them were parked on platforms during the speech, and a few can be seen flying when the fleet was heading towards requiem.
