==Why Not the 70mm chin gun?==

Is there anyone who can explain why the in game pelican does not have a 70mm chin gun? In game the chin gun appears to be the same weapon, if not smaller caliber than the Warthog's chain gun. But it obviously is not a 70mm cannon - [[User:Blehm98|Blehm98]] 21 October 2006

:The in game gun is 2D and accessable by a glitch, so I think it just wasn't ready yet. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 01:50, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

*I've read the first chapter of Ghosts of Onyx, and it says a Pelican has TWO 70mm chainguns. perhaps an older model? or a typo? -- [[User:Specops306|SpecOps306]] 21:37, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Does anybody else think that a 70mm gun is way to big to be the gun mounted under the pelican? The one on the pelican is about the same size as the chaingun on a warthog but only 1 barrel. Think about it in world war 2 the U.S. had a 70mm gun but it was mounted on a '''TANK''' and was used as an '''Anti-tank''' gun. I dont think that such a large gun would be used against infantry. just my opinion. [[User:EliteSpartan|EliteSpartan]] 6:46 August 9 2007

I looked at the Halo 2 Pelican gun and I couldn't see ANY chaingun simaler to the one from halo 3.--[[User:A Grunts Savior|The Demonic Idiot]] 02:28, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

:::::I think the whole thing is just inconsistent. Just a small mistake, like many others of its kind, in the Halo universe. My point still stands though, at least I think so.

You know, on the Halo 3 website, they call the Pelican a D77H-TCI Pelican.-- [[User:Joshua 029|Joshua 029]] 19:05, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps.-- [[User:Joshua 029|Joshua 029]] 14:15, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

When did it get an "I" on it? or the "H" for that matter. Was I just not paying attention? --[[User:Omrifere|Captain Jacob Rathens]] 17:20, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

http://halo3.com Halo3.com classifies it as the D77H-TCI. Then again, these are the people who brought us the so-called "Halo 3 M6D," so take it with a grain of salt. [[User:Specops306|Kora 'Morhekee]] 02:36, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

It's probably a new production model of the Pelican, but considering the state of Earth at the end of Halo 2, raises the question of where are these new Pelicans and weapons being made. --[[User:Kregano|Kregano]] 00:41, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

== im giving you guys a screenshot i took ==

p.s. im new to this

Apparently first generation pelicans were actually modified Slave I's.

==Pelican Speed==

how much can this thing hold in the halo:ce stragity guide it says that it can hold up to 30 people but it only holds 10 usually cause theres 10 seates is it possable that 20 of then stand cause im comfused please help me

Okay, with all due respect to the author's of this page, where did the stats on the pelican come from (things like the consumables, mass, lifting capacity, drives, etc)? They read like fanwank to me. Is there any backing of Bungie or MS of these numbers, a source of some kind (or someone with engineering experience with worked out calculations?) Regards, [[User:P03 James|P03 James]] 05:16, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

::Could you please point me to a link for the specs then please? I've searched through HBO, searched official Bungie/Microsoft websites, etc, and haven't come across them. General searches on the internet come up with similar figures, but they all come from fan-run websites without references. Thanks in advance.

== Separate Articles? ==

:Um, no, because they are too similar to have separate articles. And also, it's the same "type" of pelican, not say one which carries Elephants or something. It does ''not'' need 2 articles.

== Landfall Pelicans ==

I know this is a couple years old by now, but the Pelicans in the picture could also be 06, 05, and so on and so forth. With the font of the identification numbers, I think it is hard to tell between a 0, and an 'O'. I believe, however, that they ID numbers are simply 06 and so on, because of the corresponding IDs on the floor. Perhaps the factory putting these dropships together labels them that way so they know where parts are supposed to go, which i think would not be too unbelievable, as the Pelicans would most likely recieve their final ID number after rolling off the factory floor and heading out to move to their designated unit/attendant starship.[[User talk:SpartaWolf|SpartaWolf]] 06:12, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

I don't think so. I think Ensemble just put a piece of concept art in the wrong area. Notice also that the Pelicans are being destroyed by ''[[lasers]]''? I don't think the Frieden or Koslovics would use such advanced weaponry if the UNSC centuries later don't.

::The tilt-rotor theory here...I forgot about the Harrier, and that definitely seems to be a better fit than the Osprey. I brought the Osprey up, however, because its engines are directly installed in the nacelles, just like the Pelican, and by varying the direction of the nacelles it can maneuver. The Pelican obviously relies heavily on this principle, more so than the Osprey, so I would say the connection still stands. The Harrier uses its nozzles to take off vertically and uses them somewhat to maneuver, but also relies on control surfaces as its primary means of maneuvering. Additionally, its engine is mounted internally as is the case on most other aircraft. The Harrier also generates its lift from its wings just like a regular aircraft. Yes, it initially uses its powerplant to get up to speed, but once it gets up to a certain speed, the wings generate enough lift to support it, and it no longer needs to rely solely on its powerplant to keep it up. I definitely agree that in the final theory/explanation, it should mention the Harrier's method of maneuvering.

{{Quote|''Current flight theories''|What you said above}}

:::The problem with your statement above is ''Current flight theories''. The Pelican was developed in the future, thus scientists in that timeline might have solved the problem with short, stubby wings and powerful propulsion systems. Our current knowledge of the world is constantly changing and expanding as we progress through time, thus we can say it is possible for the Pelican to achieve such feat with such propulsion system in the future. All we can do for now is speculate with concrete support/evidence... I would suggest getting someone with a degree in aerodynamics to explain it for us and show whether it's feasible. As for now, just hold off with the speculations. We've came into some trouble in the past with these speculations in articles and it resulted badly. So, please hold off these speculations. If you insist, please provide concrete proof/evidence to support it and get someone with an official degree to explain it to us.- <font face="Century Gothic">[[User:Subtank|<font color="gold"><font color="#FF4F00">5</font>əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7</font>aŋk</font>]]^{([[User talk:Subtank|<font color="#FF4F00">7alk</font>]])}</font> 22:35, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
