Enc22 only says that the Banshee, which has plasma cannons, is integrated with wingtip propulsion pods and a fuel rod cannon. It does not say that the pods are what feature the plasma cannons. The infobox section on Armaments doesn't mention this either.

The ''Oghal''-pattern Banshee bears heavy resemblance to the similar [[Irdnek-pattern Banshee|''Irdnek''-pattern]] model, albeit with some minor changes. Visually, the Type-26A's most notable distinction is the iridescent red canopy in place of the green found on Type-26C models. This canopy similarly leaves the pilot partially exposed (particularly the feet and lower legs). The wings are connected at their ends with an antigravity pod to allow for flight.

The craft has two wing canards, each of which terminates in a [[boosted gravity propulsion drive]] including a jet and an anti-gravity pod; these leave a vaporous exhaust trail behind the Banshee. The craft is capable of achieving a velocity of over {{Convert|100|km/h|mph|sp=us}}.{{Ref/Book|Id=ENC|Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)|Page=265}} The Banshee is capable of performing complex maneuvers such as aileron rolls and flips. The Banshee is also capable of hovering, though this ability is not often used.{{Ref/Note|The Banshee's inability to hover in most games is more likely a gameplay conceit than an element of canon. Presumably, all versions of the craft are capable of hovering.}}

Differences in design variation can be attributed to specialised functionality and aesthetic preference, and can be used to identify specific military units.{{Ref/Generic|Id=LC17|[[Halo Legendary Crate]]|Subheading=[[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop #17]]|Detail=[[:File:LC 17 doc1.png|Banshee Covenant ground support aircraft]]}}
