The Albatross is probably capable of holding about four times as much cargo as the [[Pelican]] dropship. It is usually used to drop vehicles and [[UNSC]] personnel en masse to a site. When dropping its cargo, three sides of the cargo tray open up to allow vehicles and personnel to leave the cargo tray. It's good for emergency back-up and dropping supplies and ammunition quickly. | The Albatross is probably capable of holding about four times as much cargo as the [[Pelican]] dropship.

The Albatross is visible only as concept art in the book [[The Art of Halo]]. However, the cargo bay of the Albatross is visible on the [[Halo 2]] [[multiplayer]] map [[Relic]], where it is crashed on one of Relic's beaches, and on the [[Halo 3]] multiplayer map [[Sandtrap]], where again, only the cargo tray is visible.

In Relic, the rear section of the cargo bay is open, and a [[Warthog]] can be seen on a ramp leading to its cargo area. Although there is only one Warthog, the rear's interior looks large enough to fit 3-4 Warthogs, or a [[Scorpion Tank]]. On Sandtrap the crashed Albatross was carrying a [[Missile Pod]], a [[Regenerator]], and a [[Crate]] although if it is used to carry supplies it most likely carried all [[UNSC]] related equipment onto [[Sandtrap]] and the [[humans]] moved it all. | ||
Also, in the Halo Wars E3 Announcement Trailer, an Albatross, or what appears to be one, is seen dropping to the ground and opening its cargo bay. | Also, in the Halo Wars E3 Announcement Trailer, an Albatross, or what appears to be one, is seen dropping to the ground and opening its cargo bay. | ||
