EXO-7 Falcon

"I heard they couldn't bring in the choppers because of the RPGs. What did you use, a stealth chute?" "No. These."

- Natasha Romanoff and Sam Wilson

EXO-7 Falcon is a series of experimental military winged jetpacks used by former paratroopers Sam Wilson and Riley.

History
Created some time prior to 2014, at least two EXO-7's were built and deployed in Afghanistan. One of them was likely destroyed when its user was shot down and the remaining one was locked away by the U.S. Military at Fort Meade.

In 2014, Captain America and Black Widow appropriated it, along with Sam Wilson, to be used in their war against HYDRA. Wilson's EXO-7 was ultimately destroyed by the Winter Soldier.

In 2015, Wilson received an upgraded version of his EXO-7 to replace his old gear, this one was similar to his old gear but with red trim. Wilson joined the second incarnation of the Avengers led by Captain America, and arrived at the New Avengers Facility to join his new teammates.

Capabilities
The EXO-7 allows its user to fly at high speed, with the aid of three miniature jet engines and a pair of mechanical wings. The wings are retractable and somewhat bendable. While designed for one person, the EXO-7 is capable of handling the weight of at least two full grown men. For safety reasons, the EXO-7 has a built-in parachute, in case it malfunctions or is severely damaged.

The Exo-7 harness includes two collapsible submachine guns that are stored at the traditional holster position at the user's hips. When the user requires the use of the guns, the user simply reaches for one and a mechanical aid worn on their forearm grabs the gun, after which it is assembled and extended into the user's hand for them to take.

Trivia

 * When spread, the EXO-7 Falcon's wings have red accents that are a nod to the Falcon's costume as seen in the comics.
