The EV-44 Nightingale is a tiltrotor helicopter similar to the [[UH-144 Falcon]] in heavy service with the [[UNSC Army]]. The craft has a two air intakes just offset of the centreline, connecting the two tiltrotor wings to the main fuselage. Further toward the craft's rear is a tail mounting two jet engines capable of similarly-rotating on the horizontal axis to help provide lift to the rear of the craft. The front of the Nightingale boasts the cockpit, with the main fuselage boasting a generally bulky profile with no visible ingress/egress points - suggesting that entrance into the Nightingale is done via a ventral ramp similar to that of the [[Pelican]] series of [[dropship]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|HW2}}

Overall, the Nightingale is considered a relatively simple craft to construct,{{Ref/Reuse|CFArt}} and has an extremely versatile design template. This makes it fairly easy to modify for operations-specific design templates for more specialised roles. One such example is the speculative [[ZAV-48 Frostraven]], an aircraft study intended to leverage the Nightingale's airframe to test the possibility of [[Cryonics|cryonic weaponry]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} The easy-to-construct nature of the Nightingale (with the exception of its advanced restoration drone systems) has left them able to be adapted for manufacture inside the older construction modules of the {{Class|Phoenix|support ship}}, {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} - despite the ship's age and antiquated processing systems.{{Ref/Reuse|CFArt}}{{Ref/Reuse|PL}}
