'''Partial Wing''' can refer to:
  
== 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 name="TOp293">''Tactical Operations'', p. 293, "BattleMech/ProtoMech Partial Wing"</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.

Designed for use with BattleMechs, Industrial Mechs, and ProtoMechs.
 
Partial Wing adds +2 Jump MP, and –3 heat per turn in Standard
 
atmosphere. The weight of the system is 5% of the 'Mech's weight and rounded up to the nearest 0.5 ton. It occupies three critical spaces in each side torso.<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: The Clans'', p. 3, "Cougar-XR"</ref><ref name="TOp293"/>
 
 
 
The Partial Wing is classified as experimental technology as of 3067.  However, by [[3085]] the technology was reclassified as [[Technology Rating|Advanced Technology]]. This allowed the technology to become more available for limited production.<ref>''Technical Readout: Prototypes''. p. 206, "BattleMech & ProtoMech Partial Wings get reclassified as Advanced Technology"</ref>
