The '''D77-TC Pelican'''{{Ref/Reuse|Halo Waypoint: Pelican}}{{Ref/Reuse|LC}} (Formal classification:  '''Dropship 77 - Troop Carrier'''),{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P148}} commonly known as the '''Pelican''', is an extremely versatile space-to-ground capable craft used by the [[United Nations Space Command]], as well as being marketed toward [[law enforcement]], security, corporate and civilian markets.{{Ref/Reuse|OSFM206}} In its role as a [[Dropship|tactical aerospace lifter]], the Pelican is mainly for the pickup and transportation of personnel, vehicles and equipment, though some variants are capable of serving in the role of a gunship. The UNSC also uses Pelicans as civilian vehicles for quick evacuations.{{Ref/Level|HR|Exodus}}{{Ref/Comic|Halo: Uprising}}

The D77-TC has been in service for over fifty years, and is the primary tactical support aircraft of the UNSC. The Pelican serves a multi-role purpose; it is fully capable of atmospheric flight and can land almost anywhere without difficulty. The Pelican is also capable of limited spaceflight, which the UNSC uses as a primary way of delivering troops to the surface from orbit. 

The Pelican's standard armament consists of one Class III externally powered projectile weapon at the fore of the vehicle, and one Class I gas-operated projectile weapon mounted at the rear, in the extended crew area.{{Citation needed}} More heavily armed variants exist, and the Pelican can be converted to a gunship role with the addition of numerous and more powerful weaponry.{{Ref/Game|HW2|G77S Pelican gunship in-game model}}

==Design==
===Armament===
The Pelican's primary armament consists of one or more nose-mounted projectile weapons, typically autocannons or machine guns. Commonly known as "chin guns" due to their placement,{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} these weapons are controlled via an [[Integrated Helmet and Display Sight System]] (IHADSS), which links to the pilot's or co-pilot's [[heads-up display]] and allows them to target the gun by head movements.{{Ref/Novel|Id=flood3|TF|Chapter=3}}{{Ref/Reuse|secrets}} The Pelican's standard armament is a chin-mounted [[M370 autocannon]], which is sometimes linked with another such weapon;{{Ref/Novel|Id=GOO1|GOO|Chapter 1}} the M370 fires 70mm high-explosive armor-piercing (HEAP) rounds as standard ammunition,{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}} with depleted-Uranium slugs also being an option.{{Ref/Reuse|GOO1}} This replaced the older [[M340 autocannon]] that was common prior to [[2525]].{{Ref/Reuse|TFoR}} Some Marine Corps Pelicans are armed with a single 70mm rotary machine gun instead of a chain gun.{{Ref/Reuse|flood3}}

In addition to its primary armament, the Pelican has four externally-mounted missile hardpoints,{{Ref/Reuse|OSFM206}} which typically hold twin pods of eight [[Anvil-II air-to-surface missile]]s. However, they can carry a variety of weapon systems or specialized equipment pods. A turret can be placed at the back of the cargo-bay to provide covering fire for embarking personnel, and can range from [[M247 general purpose machine gun|machine guns]], to [[M460 automatic grenade launcher|grenade launchers]], and even a [[M68 Gauss cannon|gauss cannon]].{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}} While some weapons can be folded against the roof when not in use, others such as the [[AIE-486H machine gun]] can not.{{Ref/Level|Id=theark|H3|[[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]}}

The D77-TC Pelican, like most other UNSC aerospace vehicles, is fitted with a suite of countermeasures to warn the dropship of incoming attacks, break target locks, and mitigate the effects of electronic warfare. These include wide-spectrum flares, microdrone decoys, rainbow laser blinders, [[Radar|RADAR]]/LIDAR sensors, directional jammers, and "hard chop" guillotines on data processing modules that could be susceptible to cyber-intrusion agents.{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}} To prevent them from being easily taken out by [[electromagnetic pulse]]s, the Pelican's electronic systems are hardened against such phenomena.

===Powerplant/Propulsion===
Pelicans utilize a complicated system of hybrid fusion drives that combine vectored-thrust ramjets with air-breathing hyperfans in two primary and two secondary articulated engine pods. In an atmosphere, the engines function as air-breathing jets, drawing on the air for reaction mass, whereas in a vacuum, they operate on an internal supply of [[hydrogen]] reaction mass to provide thrust. With a full tank of fuel, the Pelican is able to carry out two surface-to-orbit trips.{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}} The two main engines have four nacelles each, two on the bottom and two at the back. The aft engines being similar but lack a nacelle at the bottom. Because both modules are mounted on rotating blocks, they can redirect themselves from directing the thrust downwards to any direction required. A basic [[gravitics|gravitic]] control system is used in-atmosphere to supply further stability and supplementary lift.{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}} Although fully capable of orbital transit, the D77 is too small to be equipped with a [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]], and is thus incapable of slipspace travel.{{citation needed}}

===Crew and complement===
[[File:HW2 Blitz Pelican Transport.png|left|thumb|UNSC Marines boarding a D77-TC.]]
The Pelican is crewed by two personnel who occupy the cockpit at the front of the dropship. The [[pilot]] sits on the right side, with the electronics operator or gunner taking up the station on the left. All flight controls are a digital fly-by-light with no manual backups; an integral expert system optimizes stability and adjusts the thruster profiles under all regimes and cargo profiles. Unlike on the later [[D79-TC Pelican]], the cockpit is only accessible from the cargo-bay. Motion trackers, [[Radar|RADAR]]/LIDAR sensors and a computerized mapping system allow the pilot to plan their way to nearby staging areas as well as to warn of incoming threats.{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}}

The cargo-bay, colloquially dubbed by Marines as the "blood tray", usually accommodates up to ten personnel in jumpseats, with a small overhead compartment for their weapons and equipment. Additional infantry can be carried standing up, and increased seating for ten more people can be installed in the center aisle. Otherwise, this space can be used to carry cargo pallets, casualty litters, or even small utility vehicles such as two [[M274 Mongoose|M274 Mongoose ULATV]].{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}} The Pelican is also equipped with an onboard weapons locker, which can hold enough weapons and ammunition to arm thirty troopers.<ref name="secrets">''[[Halo: Combat Evolved: Sybex Official Strategies & Secrets]]''</ref> At least one pelican has been modified to act as a boarding craft for [[Operation: RED FLAG]], which has enough room to ferry twenty-five [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-IIs]] to their target, as well as carry the cutting gear needed to cut through the hull of a Covenant warship. Pelicans equipped for "[[soft-seal]]" [[Naval boarding|boarding]] actions have an extendable cover that folds down around the entrance to the troop bay. This configuration was refined during the last days of [[Operation: TREBUCHET]].{{Ref/Comic|Id=HWG|Halo Wars: Genesis|Page=20-21}}

The large aft overhang provides a magnetic and physical attachment point for additional cargo and ordnance. Possible payloads include a [[troop deployment pod]], a single large vehicle such as an [[M808 Scorpion]] or [[M12 Warthog]], or eight [[resupply canister]]s. It can also transport a [[deployable bridge]],{{Ref/Level|HR|Tip of the Spear}} or a [[firebase]] component building. It is discouraged for pilots to transport objects in the clamp during orbital insertions, as it can complicate reentry.{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}}

==Variants==
As the most ubiquitous Pelican model in service, the Pelican has seen extensive deployment and modification, and is widely marketed to police, security, corporate and civilian markets.{{Ref/Reuse|OSFM206}}

*'''[[D77H-TCI Pelican]]''' — A newer and nearly identical model of the regular D77-TC, except for a more angular frame, and it features a tandem pilot-seating configuration.{{Ref/Reuse|Halo Waypoint: Pelican}}
*'''[[D77C Pelican]]''' – A civilian variant utilized by the law enforcement agencies on major urban areas.{{Ref/Reuse|Halo Waypoint: Pelican}}
**'''[[D77C-NMPD Pelican]]''' – A specialized variant of the D77C and the D77H-TCI itself that was employed by the [[New Mombasa Police Department]] in [[Kenya]], [[Africa]], [[Earth]].{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/related/gallery/nmpd-pelican/a08fd318-4bef-4c32-9741-6d15b5f1180d|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=NMPD Pelican|D=26|M=03|Y=2011|Detail=(defunct, archive [[Archive:Halo Waypoint/2009 to 2014/Universe/Vehicles#NMPD Pelican|here]])}}
*'''Air Force variant''' — The version of the Pelican used by the [[UNSC Air Force]] features a few major differences from other variants of the aircraft. First, the cockpit layout resembles that of the newer D77H-TCI model with the co-pilot's station located behind and above the pilot rather than side-by-side.{{Ref/Game|HR|Detail=3D Pelican model}}
*'''[[G77S Pelican]]''' — Building upon the versatile foundation of the venerable D77 airframe, the G77S Pelican is an impressive gunship design cooked up by [[Isabel]] and the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}'s engineers to help turn the tide of battle against [[Banished]] forces on the Ark. The G77S Pelican Gunship boasts a powerful range of armaments, including top-mounted ANVIL missile pods, four payload hardpoints, a forward M370 chaingun turret, and multiple [[M41 Vulcan|12.7mm Vulcan]] cannons.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/the-art-of-war-s|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder: The Art of War(s)|D=19|M=03|Y=2017}}
*'''[[D78-TC Pelican]]''' — Although the [[D79-TC Pelican]] largely supplanted the D77 in post-war service, surviving hulls would be upgraded with improved avionics and thrusters, redesignated D78-TC and continuing to serve.{{Ref/Reuse|Halo Waypoint: Pelican}}{{Ref/Book|Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide|Page=112}}

==Service history==
===Human-Covenant War===
By the time of the [[Fall of Reach]], D77-TC Pelicans were the most common airlift assets available to [[NOBLE Team]] and other [[Spartan]]s at [[Reach]], albeit [[UH-144 Falcon]]s also being used for shot-top transport and air support.{{Ref/Reuse|LC}} When the [[Covenant]] assaulted the planet, they were used to move critical assets the battlefronts across the human inner colony, and evacuate wounded and VIPs.{{Ref/Reuse|LC}} Following the UNSC disastrous defeat and the [[glassing]] of Reach in [[2552#August|August 30, 2552]], many surviving Pelicans were drawn to the sister colony of [[Tribute]], where they continue to fight against the Covenant forces there until the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Reuse|LC}}

==Trivia==
{{Linkbox|gallery=yes}}
*A pelican is a seabird, in keeping with the UNSC's tradition of naming atmospheric vehicles after real animals, with the exceptions of the [[Cyclops]] and [[Gremlin]], which are named after mythical creatures, and the [[GA-TL1 Longsword]], [[B-65 Shortsword]], [[FSS-1000 Sabre]], and [[F-41 Broadsword]] which are named after bladed weapons.
*All Pelican dropships in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' bear either the numbers E419 (''Echo 419'') or V933 (''Victor 933''). This was done to save resources during the development of the game.
*The Pelican shows clear inspiration from the ''UD4L Cheyenne'' dropship from the movie ''[[Wikipedia:Aliens|Aliens]]'', which [[list of references to Aliens in Halo|has inspired the ''Halo'' series in many ways]].
*In ''Halo 2'' gameplay, players can see the insides of the Pelican's cockpit, but no pilots are inside, despite they can be heard in COMs.
*There is a glitch in the ''Halo 2'' level ''Metropolis'' where the player can ride in a Pelican. It will take the player out of the map, flip, and eject the player. If the player attempts to right the flipped Pelican, the script will read "Hold X to flip Banshee", because Bungie never intended for the Pelican to be operable by the player, and therefore did not make a unique message. The Pelican's in-game physics will make it impossible to correctly and permanently flip the Pelican, as it will always reposition itself in an upside-down position.
*In ''Halo: Reach'', the player can pilot a Pelican through [[Flyable Pelican and Phantom|an Easter egg]].
*In ''Halo: Reach'', the inside screens show information on the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s [[SWORD Base]].
*In ''Halo: Reach'', all Pelicans are registered as [[NOBLE Team]] assets, as they are all given the tag "NOBLE 48".
*Its name is a reference to the number [[7]].
