| | | | |
| − | == 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 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 in [[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 (Battle Armor)]]'', a Battle Armor counterpart designed by the [[Dracon Combine]] for their [[Kage]] suits and other Battle Armor. |

| − | Designed for use with BattleMechs, IndustrialMechs, and ProtoMechs. It cannot be used on Land Air 'Mechs{{cn}} or on Glider ProtoMechs.<ref name="IOexProto">''[[Interstellar Operations]], Expanded ProtoMech Construction Rules</ref> UltraHeavy ProtoMechs are assumed to use the same rules for mounting Partial Wings as Clan BattleMechs.<ref name="IOexProto/>

| − | In standard atmosphere, the Partial Wing adds +2 Jump MP, and an additional 3 heat dissipated per turn.

| − | The weight of the system (Clan Techbase) is 5% of the 'Mech's weight (7% for Inner Sphere, 20% for ProtoMechs<ref name="TOp292">Tactical Operations, Page 292</ref>) and rounded up to the nearest 0.5 ton. It occupies three critical spaces in each side torso for BattleMechs, and one weapon slot in the torso for ProtoMechs.<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>
