The '''D77H-TCI Pelican''', formally known as the '''Dropship 77 Heavy-Troop Carrier/Infantry''' and more commonly known as the '''Pelican''', is a newer model of the [[D77-TC Pelican]] dropship. It appeared to have largely supplanted the original D77-TC model in the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]] and [[UNSC Navy|Navy]], at least in the [[Battle of Earth|Earth]] theater of operations, by [[2552#November|late 2552]].<ref>'''Halo 3'''</ref>


The '''Dropship-77 Heavy Troop Carrier/Infantry Pelican''', abbreviated '''D77H-TCI Pelican''', is a newer model of the venerable [[D77-TC Pelican]], recently introduced into service within the [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]] and [[UNSC Navy|Navy]] in late 2552 and early 2553.
==Specifications==
===Design details===
The D77H-TCI Pelican is the primary tactical support aircraft of the UNSC. Like the previous model, the D77H-TCI Pelican serves a multi-role purpose. The dropship is fully capable of atmospheric flight and can land almost anywhere without difficulty. It is also capable of limited spaceflight, making it the prime troop transport of the UNSC.


==Background==
There are several interior and exterior design differences between the D77-TC and D77H-TCI models. Most notably difference is in the cockpit area. Instead of the pilot and co-pilot sitting next to each other, the co-pilot is seated behind and above the pilot, and the controls and instrument panels are rearranged and upgraded. A small [[holotank]] is installed in the cockpit, allowing an artificial intelligence to project its holographic [[avatar]] to the craft's pilots.
The D77H-TCI is a fleet wide upgrade to the [[UNSC]]'s squadrons of Pelican dropships, that have been in service for over 50 years. First seen deployed in November, 2552 <ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]] Chapter 23, Page 203</ref> the Pelican 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, making it the prime troop transport of the UNSC. The D77H-TCI makes several drastic design changes to both the interior, and exterior, although the exteriors changes are not as noticeable as the interior is. The first significant change is in the cockpit area of the D77H which instead of having the pilot and co-pilot sitting next to each other, the copilot is now seated behind and above the pilot, the control's and instrument panels have been rearranged and upgraded for the D77H. A small holo-tank is installed in the cockpit, allowing an artificial intelligence to project its holographic form to the craft's pilots.<ref>Halo 3</ref>


===Payload Capacity===
===Payload capacity===
[[File:HRS D77H TCI Pelican Bottom.jpg|left|thumb|A bottom-profile of the D77H-TCI Pelican Dropship.]]
There are also differences in the bay of the craft: the so-called "blood tray".<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 203''</ref> Although the D77H-TCI Pelican carries the same number of passengers as its predecessor, its troop-bay is more flexible, able to carry up to two [[M274 Ultra-Light All-Terrain Vehicle|M274 Mongoose ULATVs]] internally, in addition to ten passengers. Like the original models, the D77H-TCI's tail-mounted magnetic clamps are capable of carrying an [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|M12 Warthog FAV]], an [[M808 Main Battle Tank|M808 Scorpion MBT]], or several [[resupply canister]]s.
The pressurized payload area has also seen a design change, the D77H-TCI variant of the Pelican carries the same number of passengers as its predecessor. However, its troop-bay is more flexible, able to carry up to two [[M274 Mongoose ULATV|Mongoose ULATV's]] internally, in addition to ten passengers, also it has a hermetic door on its rear section for ship-to-shore orbital insertions. Its tail-mounted magnetic clamps are capable of carrying a [[M12 Warthog LRV]], [[Gauss Warthog|M12G1 Warthog LAAG]] or [[M831 TT Warthog]], an [[M808B Scorpion MBT]], or four [[Resupply Canister Type-C Capsule|Type C Resupply Capsules]] rather than six of the older [[Resupply Canister Type-B Capsule|Type B Resupply Capsules]], to the battlefield, able to detach its payload without landing decreasing the chance of an attack while it unloads.


===Armament===
===Armament===
The D77H-TCI Pelican, like its predecessor, is compatible with the Rotary-cannons in both 40mm and 70mm types. The Pelican is also able to mount an [[AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun]] in its troop-bay compartment for supporting ground teams and covering the departure of its passengers, an improvement from the previous [[M247 GPMG]], although this prevents it from carrying a vehicle internally. The D77H can also be equipped with [[ANVIL-II ASM]] Pods; the design of the pods has changed, and now seamlessly blends with the Pelican. The new ANVIL pods can fire up to 12 missiles at once, six from each pod. A Gunship version of the D77H is in service as well, this heavily armed version, is equipped with more chainguns, missiles, and a large cannon, mounted at the ventral-fore of the dropship<ref>[[High Ground (Level)]] computers</ref>.
The D77H-TCI Pelican, like its predecessor, can be armed with a 40mm or [[70mm chain gun]], an [[M638 Autocannon|M638 20mm autocannon]], a rotary machine gun, or a pair of twin-linked rotary cannons. The Pelican is also able to mount a machine gun - typically an [[AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun]] - in its troop bay for supporting ground teams and covering the departure of its passengers, although this prevents it from carrying a vehicle internally. The D77H can also be equipped with [[ANVIL-II Air-to-Surface Missile]] pods; rather than being externally mounted to the wings, these pods are integrated seamlessly into the fuselage. The ANVIL pods can fire up to twelve missiles at once, six from each pod. A gunship version of the D77H is in service as well; this heavily armed version is equipped with more chainguns, missiles, and a large cannon mounted at the ventral-fore of the dropship.<ref>'''Halo 3''', multiplayer level ''[[High Ground]]''</ref>


===Propulsion===
===Propulsion===
The main engines are mounted in pairs in four nacelles, one situated on each wing and two at the rear and posterior. The nacelles can articulate independently, thus altering the direction of thrust, referred to as vectoring in aviation; This improves the Pelican's low altitude maneuverability. Four ventral thrusters are identified by markings and a rendered thrust effect, one on each wing nacelle and one on each aft nacelle, allow the drop ship to land and take off vertically. These engines are capable of both space and atmospheric operation. It has 8 jet intakes, 3 on each side and 2 on top.

The D77H-TCI, like the D77-TC, although fully capable of orbital insertion, is too small to be equipped with a [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]], and thus is incapable of Slipspace travel.


The wings mounted on a Pelican seem extremely small, too small to support the weight of drop ship and payload alone. It is speculated that it utilizes at least some [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_body Lifting Body] principles, using its own hull create most of the lift necessary for flight. It may also be that the Pelican partially relies upon thrust vectoring, referred to as jet-borne flight as opposed to wing-borne flight which can be further reinforced with the fact that down-ward aiming jets can be seen on the bottom of the thruster mountings. It should be noted that small wings are very efficient for high-speed flight, as demonstrated by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-104_Starfighter F-104 Starfighter]. It is also a benefit for operations in the upper atmosphere, especially re-entry, as was the case with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-15 X-15].

The D77H-TCI Pelican, formally known as the Dropship 77 Heavy-Troop Carrier/Infantry and more commonly known as the Pelican, is a newer model of the D77-TC Pelican dropship. It appeared to have largely supplanted the original D77-TC model in the UNSC Marine Corps and Navy, at least in the Earth theater of operations, by late 2552.[6]

Specifications[edit]

Design details[edit]

The D77H-TCI Pelican is the primary tactical support aircraft of the UNSC. Like the previous model, the D77H-TCI Pelican serves a multi-role purpose. The dropship is fully capable of atmospheric flight and can land almost anywhere without difficulty. It is also capable of limited spaceflight, making it the prime troop transport of the UNSC.

There are several interior and exterior design differences between the D77-TC and D77H-TCI models. Most notably difference is in the cockpit area. Instead of the pilot and co-pilot sitting next to each other, the co-pilot is seated behind and above the pilot, and the controls and instrument panels are rearranged and upgraded. A small holotank is installed in the cockpit, allowing an artificial intelligence to project its holographic avatar to the craft's pilots.

Payload capacity[edit]

There are also differences in the bay of the craft: the so-called "blood tray".[7] Although the D77H-TCI Pelican carries the same number of passengers as its predecessor, its troop-bay is more flexible, able to carry up to two M274 Mongoose ULATVs internally, in addition to ten passengers. Like the original models, the D77H-TCI's tail-mounted magnetic clamps are capable of carrying an M12 Warthog FAV, an M808 Scorpion MBT, or several resupply canisters.

Armament[edit]

The D77H-TCI Pelican, like its predecessor, can be armed with a 40mm or 70mm chain gun, an M638 20mm autocannon, a rotary machine gun, or a pair of twin-linked rotary cannons. The Pelican is also able to mount a machine gun - typically an AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun - in its troop bay for supporting ground teams and covering the departure of its passengers, although this prevents it from carrying a vehicle internally. The D77H can also be equipped with ANVIL-II Air-to-Surface Missile pods; rather than being externally mounted to the wings, these pods are integrated seamlessly into the fuselage. The ANVIL pods can fire up to twelve missiles at once, six from each pod. A gunship version of the D77H is in service as well; this heavily armed version is equipped with more chainguns, missiles, and a large cannon mounted at the ventral-fore of the dropship.[8]

Propulsion[edit]

The main engines are mounted in pairs in four nacelles, with one situated on each wing and two at the rear and posterior. The nacelles can articulate independently, thus altering the direction of thrust, referred to as vectoring in aviation; this improves the Pelican's low altitude maneuverability. Four ventral thrusters are identified by markings and a rendered thrust effect, one on each wing nacelle and one on each aft nacelle, allow the drop ship to land and take off vertically. These engines are capable of both space and atmospheric operation. It has eight jet intakes, three on each side and two on top, though intakes are obviously not able to function in a vaccuum. The D77H-TCI, like the D77-TC, although fully capable of orbital insertion, is too small to be equipped with a Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine, and thus is incapable of Slipspace travel.

Deployment history[edit]

This model was used from 2552 to 2553, only to be supplanted around 2557 by the D79-TC Pelican.[citation needed]

Law enforcement variant[edit]

Main article: D77C-NMPD Pelican

The D77C-NMPD is a variant of the D77H-TCI that was utilized by the New Mombasa Police Department in Kenya, Africa, on Earth.[9] It was differentiated from its military counterpart by a black and white color scheme, with the word "POLICE" replacing the traditional "MARINES" on the external hull, and a noted lack of armament. Under the craft's chin, where a machine gun turret or autocannon would normally be installed, were various interchangeable sensors used by the police for aerial surveillance and crowd control. An AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun was typically mounted in the personnel bay of the D77C-NMPD, similarly to the D77 and D77H models.

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Though the Halo: Reach manual identifies the Pelican in the game as the D77-TC model, all Pelicans seen in-game have the same internal design as the D77H-TCI, notably including the tandem seating configuration. This is most easily seen in the level The Pillar of Autumn.
