Unlike the D77 and the D77H Pelicans, the D79 features a twin-bubble canopy akin to that of the 21st century [[Wikipedia:Mil Mi-24 Hind|Mi-24 Hind gunship/attack helicopter]]; flight controls and frontal weaponry triggers are linked to the lower seat, while the dorsal turret is manned through the upper seat. The D79 Pelican features increased hull armor and more powerful engines compared to its predecessors.{{Ref/Reuse|waypointarticle}} It has a sleeker, more rounded fuselage which presumably improves its aerodynamics. A tall air intake is located immediately adjacent to the fuselage on either winglet, while a shorter but wider intake is mounted in front of and beneath each forward thruster; two smaller intakes are located above these. Two small maneuvering thrusters are mounted on either side of the fuselage. The Pelican is armed with a pair of [[GAU | Unlike the D77 and the D77H Pelicans, the D79 features a twin-bubble canopy akin to that of the 21st century [[Wikipedia:Mil Mi-24 Hind|Mi-24 Hind gunship/attack helicopter]]; flight controls and frontal weaponry triggers are linked to the lower seat, while the dorsal turret is manned through the upper seat.

Misriah's [[D81-LRT Condor]] uses an airframe strikingly similar to the D79's, as it uses the D79-TC Pelican as the base. However, the Condor possesses a [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|slipspace drive]] and additional thrust nozzles, in addition to substantially greater length.{{Ref/Reuse|CondorWaypoint}} | Misriah's [[D81-LRT Condor]] uses an airframe strikingly similar to the D79's, as it uses the D79-TC Pelican as the base.
