*Pelicans may share some similarities with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_bodies lifting bodies] such as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin-Marietta_X-24 Martin X-24]. Due to the Pelican's unique fuselage design, lift could be generated from air passing over the fuselage in much the same manner as lift is generated by passing over an airfoil. The Pelican's short wings also suggest that either lift is generated by the fuselage or the Pelican supports some form of antigravity technology, as their cross-section is not great enough to be the sole source of the Pelican's lift. Additionally, the Pelican maneuvers by the manipulation of its main wings and rear nacelles, which is possibly a spinoff from the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Aircraft Bell-][http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing Boeing] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-22_Osprey V-22 Osprey], a modern-day tilt-rotor aircraft.
