The Banshee is a fast, personal aerial assault craft used by the Covenant. The Banshee resembles a medium size jet with a hood, that opens upward from the rear. It is equipped with two stubby "wings" which terminates propulsion jets and anti-gravity pods leaving behind a signature exhaust trail while flying. the Banshee is capable of reaching a speed of over 100 km/h[4], is extremely manoeuvrable, and able to perform highly aerobatic maneuvers. The Banshee is also capable of space flight.[5]. The vehicle garners it's name from the wailing noise it creates when in the air. In Halo:Combat Evolved it is capable of hovering. It has two weapon pods mounted to either side of the fuselage. Each of these pods contains a light plasma cannon and a Fuel Rod Cannon [6]. The Banshee is deployed en masse to provide air cover for Covenant forces on the ground. Though small arms fire may disrupt or disable the pilot (the SMG is very effective against it in Halo 2), only heavy weapons are capable of inflicting enough damage to destroy the vehicle. In Halo 2 multiplayer, the secondary weapon, the Fuel Rod Cannon, has been replaced by a speed boost. However, it is accessible in Halo 3 multiplayer.

The Banshee is never seen being piloted by one of the "inferior" Covenant races. It is solely reserved for use by the Elites and Brutes.

Banshees are seen in the three part series Halo: Arms Race. They seem to fly much faster in Halo 3, often performing strafing runs, and its weapons seem to do more damage. The plasma projectiles seem to also travel much faster, however this may be because "our" experience with the Banshee is through the Chief, who has reflexes several times human normal (and the game speed accurately reflects his reaction time).
