The inside of the Longsword presents a small corridor leading to the rear, stairs, and a higher corridor to the cockpit.<ref name="HCE">'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''', campaign level ''[[The Maw]]''</ref> In the two corridors, there are several equipment lockers, along with two secondary crew stations. The cockpit consists of two pilots' chairs and two auxiliary crew stations. With a known total crew complement of four, along with the equipment and weapon lockers, the ship presents itself as less of a fighter-bomber and more of a dedicated bomber and close support craft.

The cockpit design stayed the same between ''Halo'' and ''Halo 2'' but was changed in ''Halo 3'' and ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. Previously, the cockpit had four windows (two on each side, but none in the front) and a view screen. In ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo: Reach'' the Longsword has windows wrapping around the cockpit similarly to traditional aircraft. Other aesthetic changes were made between ''Halo 2'' to ''Halo 3''. The first version in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 2'' had diamond-shaped intakes which were removed from the ''Halo 3'' version, so it can be proposed that the ship in ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo: Reach'' is a different version of the Longsword. It may be noted that all the Longswords seen in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 2'' are used entirely in space combat, while those seen in ''Halo 3'' are primarily used in an atmospheric fighter-bomber role,<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level ''[[The Storm]]''</ref> in addition to space combat.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]''</ref>

In ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo: Reach'' the Longsword has windows wrapping around the cockpit similarly to traditional aircraft. Other aesthetic changes were made between ''Halo 2'' to ''Halo 3''. The first version in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 2'' had large diamond-shaped intakes which were reduced in size from the ''Halo 3'' version, so it can be proposed that the ship in ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo: Reach'' is a different version of the Longsword.
