==Summary==
Known models include the following:
Pelicans are [[UNSC]] Dropships. They are called Pelicans due to their ability to carry a large amount of cargo. A standard Pelican can carry up to 10 fully armed [[Marines]]. Every Pelican has a name, a letter from the fonetic alphabet followed by a 3 digit number. The ones that appear in [[Halo 1]] are [[Foehammer|Echo 419]], Bravo 022 (not seen), and [[Victor 933]]. A Pelican is capable of transporting a [[Warthog]] or a [[Scorpion]]. Pelicans are occasionally armed with weapons, but it isn't often.


Pelicans move by using compressed air jets on moveable "Wings". The wings rotate and move in order to direct the pelican's flight path, and the backward jets move it forward.
