Alan's breakdown of the Quinjet makes it sound like, at least to me, the galaxy-class starship from Star Trek. The way it uses power and thrust instead of aerodynamics seems very similar. I think Generation Films should do a video about the Lions from Voltron: Legendary Defender. I want to see what scientific explanations Alan can come up with.
As an aerospace engineer, I have to unfortunately inform you that the quinjet is a physical impossibly. There is no metal on Earth that has that stiffness, yield strength and lightness known to man. There is also no fuel, short of an unshielded compact nuclear reactor, with that much power density to be able to boost that heavy craft into space. It just can't exist. However, if Congress is willing to authorize a multibillion dollar development contract, my company will be happy to spend it for you.
Pardon a moment. But this universe has people like Tony Stark who make flying suits of armour that can take tank rounds. And this was him borrowing the metallurgy from a satellite project as I recall. So stiff yet light weight seems to be there. Shield also seems unimpressed with the miniature arc reactor. As though they already had one. So perhaps they are at least partially powered in this manner? They really don't get into the nuts a bolts of how it works.
The question that I'd like answered is: would both of them actually be able to fly in atmosphere? I'd love to see a wind tunnel test (among others) on both vehicles to determine whether or not both designs could even work in atmo.
@@Blue-Gold_Crusader Quinjet maybe Pelican definitely not. The wings are too short to provide lift instead it has downward facing VTOL thrusters and the rear dual thrusters can swivel/vector to provide further lift and control. Watch the Installation 00 pelican breakdown for more information.
Does the Arwing(Arrow Wing)design from Star Fox make sense? Mk1 Arwing(SNES Star Fox) Mk2 Arwing(Star Fox 64) Mk2 Arwing Zero(Star Fox Zero), this includes the Black Armor variant(More firepower but less shield strength) Mk3 Arwing(Star Fox Assault)
@@johnverick-smith9794 I heard the first models of the pelican (the bungie series) actually could work aerodynamically. Its body as a whole generated lift when in flight while the vtol jets were for hovering and low speed maneuvers. The problem is we dont actually have a fuel that would work. Or engines probably. But that's sci-fi stuff anyway. I'm more interested in the aerodynamics actually working because sci-fi can wave fingers and say 500 years of better rocketry.
The Quinjet has 5 engines -- you mentioned the 2 jet engines, and 2 VTOL engines. It also has 1 linear areospike rocket engine that I think you only see in the AOS series to take it into space.
Ok, some problems I notice: 1. First and foremost: 3 reasonably sized afterburning turbofans or even turboramjets would have considerable difficulty getting it to its stated airbreathing top speed of mach 2.1. The airframe doesn't appear to follow the Whitcomb area rule well at all and is pretty chubby. So at sea level it might not even break mach 1. 2. It is very clearly designed for high alpha maneuvers, with high lift devices on the relatively deep wings and canted vertical stabilizers. However, this requires that it be at low dynamic pressure to not rip the wings or kill the crew. Having the jets sitting above the fuselage like that, will make force to slam it forward. Maybe even tumble it headfirst into the ground if it stalls. I seriously wonder why the engine are not sitting to the sides. 4. The intake design is highly questionable during high alpha maneuvers. This is especially important because if an engine suddenly chokes and stalls from the drop in air pressure, the aircraft may leave the envelope of controlled flight as the pitchdown moment from the engine ceases and so does the vertical thrust. Even if it has thrust vector control, it may not actually have the power to regain control in a timely manner after a compressor stall. 5. Considering how it might be prone to going into a deep stall, the aircraft looks to have a lot of angular inertia in yaw. The wideset engines, huge wings, and turbofans (but really more like ducted turboprops) in the wings lend themselves to making it harder to escape a flat spin. And the anhedral on the wings doesn't help, although their being high on the fuselage does. 6. Obviously this thing is not designed as an SSTO or a submersible aircraft and wouldn't function as one without applying a healthy dose of ultra-futuristic magitech.
This video would have been a bit better if you'd focused on one specific line of quinjets (the SHIELD/Hydra type seen in the first avengers film,, civil war, and the agents of shield series) and then examined the larger Stark built Avengers version seen in later films as a separate entity. which is very clearly is, being of a different size, design, and performance.
Yeah - he generalized everything. The Stark quinjet is single piloted and uses repulsors for VTOL where the SHEILD version has two pilots and uses ducted fans for VTOL, later upgraded with scramjet engines for the thrust
@@johnverick-smith9794 I'm assuming the varient in the movie is an F-35B, so no internal cannons. While the F-35B can mount a gun pod, it still does not have an internal cannon. Only the A varient can mount an internal cannon.
TnT Productions right? I can’t believe so many people miss this fact. The F-35A has a 25mm cannon above its right wing root. The B and C models carry a 25mm cannon in an external gun pod mounted under the fuselage. However the Airforce has been having problems with the internal cannon on the F-35. It’s accuracy is questionable and it’s been cracking it’s mounting brackets
I personally think someone got the idea from the Skyranger from the Xcom series. At least the idea for a jet/VTOL vehicle capable of depositing a squad for operations wherever it's needed. Something about the idea is just so badass. having looked at some pictures, I'm now much more sure it was at least part of the inspiration. The Skyranger from Enemy Unknown has the same two turbofans in the wings and general bulkiness. Though they definitely made their own unique model that is probably more realistic.
Tony can survive literally falling out of the sky in the Iron Man suit; I doubt a bit of maneuvering would cause someone in that world to black out. The must have some kind of inertial dampers.
As a friend of mine put it, "A weird collection of aviation parts loosely traveling in the same general direction." He was a helicopter design engineer.
I think the Gau-17 sounding like a single-barrel vickers machine gun was the most rage-inducing facet of this aircraft. Marvel can't handle the BRRRRR!
My interpretation of the downward flex of the wings upon landing is that it's done to enhance ground effect. It captures the high pressure air underneath that is produced by those rotors and the high attack forward movement, making a cushion underneath.
I know that several folks have built scale models of the Pandora craft, but they make use of quad rotor tech, the wings don't provide much, if any, lift.
@@maverickso8397 The video should also make references to the 2018 movie Ready Player One that featured robots sponsored by Bandai such as Voltron, Gundam, and Mechagodzilla
The single funniest thing I've witnessed in this life is watching Ghost in the Shell in 1995, and then watching the USMC adopt pretty much EVERYTHING that flew in that movie as their standard infantry deployment tech in the 2010's.
Great vid, but I have my doubts on the auto rotation theory. You would need more diameter to keep up rotational speed and the aerodynamical layout to support reversed airflow (as a helicopter has). Imho power off landings rely on gliding principle. But the most important feature: it looks cool and they do a lot to sell it as possibly working 😉
I agree, a helicopter has long wide rotors with plenty of surface area so they rotate quite slowly. The Quinjet has many small rotors blades in a housing, more like a ducted turbofan producing thrust than a rotor generating lift. They would need to be spinning at high speed to generate lift.
Jet engines also need colder air to work well, that's why the Harrier had an issue with sucking in it's own hot air and suddenly losing lift. the experimental Boeing X-32 had a cold air nozzle to act as a screen to push hot air from it's jets away from the intake.
The Quinjet is cool to me. But I’m waiting for Tony Stark to add his Ark Reactor for a major power upgrade or add Vibranium armor like Captain America.
It could be used to shuttle around soldiers, but not very well in battle, seeing how venerable the propellers were, and how of one went down, the ship goes down
The interesting part is that he goes back and forth between versions of the Quinjet to support his argument which makes it an unreliable argument. If you go back and forth between two versions of something which a massive amount of changes take place from V1 to V2.
2 things 1 is that while autorotations are an emergency procedure, they are in no way a crash landing. It's basically the equivalent of gliding a plane. Pilots practice them regularly and are very comfortable with the maneuver. I've ridden with a pilot on a practice autorotation it was not violent or terrifying. 2 I doubt the quintet can auto rotate as it has very small rotors and it is unlikely they are controlled through pitch adjustment. Also it has wings
As a stand alone transport it'd be faster than a helicopter while maintaining the VTOL of the helicopter. If we could actually make some, IRL, it would be awesome. Just wish there was a decent/available model kit for the quintet
Does the Arwing(Arrow Wing)design from Star Fox make sense? Mk1 Arwing(SNES Star Fox) Mk2 Arwing(Star Fox 64) Mk2 Arwing Zero(Star Fox Zero), this includes the Black Armor variant(More firepower but less shield strength) Mk3 Arwing(Star Fox Assault)
As a student helicopter pilot the only thing you got right about helicopters is the auto rotation part. That's not how seal team six crashed and they are not like flying bricks they can glide. Not very well but if you couldn't glide you wouldnt be able to auto rotate.
As an aviation nerd I cringe every time I see the F-35 firing its guns against Hulk. Randomly throwing the muzzle flashes in the engine air intakes instead of the single flash in the right nose faring. Even your most basic research about the F-35 would have got that right.
As a real Engineer doing real space exploration equipment, and simulation habitats, I hated it. Much of the fun stuff is fun, but the stuff they get wrong is so wrong it hurt too much to like the rest ..

If I'm not mistaken, auto rotation depends on changing the pitch of the rotors of a helicopter, but can the quintet change the pitch of the rotors on its turbo fans though🤔
My greatest complaint on Quinjet in technical term are its Wing mounted fan. It consumes so much volume, down to the point of questionable amount of fuel volume it can carry.
I must support Alderwolf. Good engineer. You have several problems with these kind of ideas. One of the biggest is reaction mass. Which he pointed out. You need more fuel mass but more mass makes you accelerate less. You can't use F=MA anymore. Force is actually the time derivative of momentum. Which is F=MA in some situations but if you are blowing tons out the backside it quickly becomes inaccurate. If mass is constant, it is MA. Derivivate of velocity is acceleration.But is mass is rapidly changing it is a mess. If I recall correctly it is a Langrangian. Basically this means you go of the middle of where your rocket or plane thrusts to move and calculate equal and opposite masses from the craft and fuel expended. So you calculate from the mid point of thrust being expended to mass lost to your projectile/plane/spaceship opening up its engines. The Langrangian is L=V-T where V is the kinect energy and T is the potential energy. V means the energy of someone punching you and T means looking over a cliff and thinking, hmm I might die if I fell off. Sorry, longwinded, but this is why it is called reaction mass.
According to agents of shield s7, quinjets exhibit 63000 pound force of thirst per turbine (not the vtol one). This is extremely powerful for its size and shows that shield rotors are very powerful.
you know, in Ragnarok, Thor's first plan was to use Avengers Quinjet to enter "Devil Anals" before abort the plan, either Thor just jump the gun or he know their Quinjet capable doing that
The Age Of Ultron Quinjet is not the same craft from Avengers Assemble or Agents Of Shield. It is referred to as such, but is a vehicle designed by Tony for the Avengers. It’s totally different. That’s why it’s covered in repulsors, not normal engines. Constantly referring generically to “the quinjet”, but showing the different versions is a bit inaccurate.
the problem with the hulk and "F-35B" scene is that it isn't really an F-35. first, none of the three versions has two cannons and second, the B version doesn't have an internal cannon it can only mount a pod mounted gun as the needed lift motor takes up to much space to allow a cannon mounted internally.
as sci fi becomes fact, it is telling that there are similarities that are blatant precursors to what we may see; "what will the Simpsons and DARPA dream up next?". My personal favorite are Halo's Pelicans and Falcons, Long sword and sabres look very familiar too.
The MCU has a lot of plot holes, one in particular I have issues with is back when Fury said that S.H.I.E.L.D started researching and developing weapons using the Tesseract, because of what happened in _Thor (2011)._ However, it's now been established in _Captain Marvel (2019)_ that S.H.I.E.L.D (Fury in particular) had already been aware of the existence of hostile alien forces since back in the 90's. Meaning that S.H.I.E.L.D already had the means and reason to start making Tesseract based weaponry. Thus by the time _Thor (2011)_ or _Avengers (2012)_ rolled in, S.H.I.E.L.D would've already had an arsenal such weapons. Alternatively, Thanos would've also learned the location of the Tesseract and Earth much earlier.
For most the questions I see in the comments, people should really check out Agents of Shield. The show is awesome and goes more in-depth with the technical stuff in the MCU. Albeit, the show won't answer all of the questions.
Description correction: The S.H.I.E.L.D Quinjet is the latest in hybrid carrier fighters deployed by Avengers and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D in the Marvel films and TV show
Does the Helicarrier even have point defense weapons or really any way of intercepting in coming missiles? Seems like just a flying target, a single F22 taking out an engine and the whole thing comes down.
Hi guys, Wondered if you'd do alternative scifi wargaming reviews? Void 1.1's game "Age of Tyrants" 6mm wargame really interests me and love your review of the fighting strengths and armoured vehicles?
Good job analyzing most of that info but just one thing... almost all aircraft are pressurized but that doesn’t make them capable of space travel or under water travel. Even an aircraft specifically built for high altitude flying struggles with pressurization at 70k feet

@@0623kaboom Thanks, I know little about this plane other than it was Canadian, and way, waaay ahead it's time. There was a video somewhere that speculated how fare against the F-35 in terms of cost and tehnology if released now.
I have to admit, the first time I saw a quinjet on film, my first thought was "wow, some movie people that actually created something that felt like it could be real, I love it!". Not quite as much as I like the Battlestar Galactica Raptor, but I would still take it as my second choice. Less cargo space in the Raptor, but FTL!! ^.^
Anything will fly, given enough thrust....but that is the show stopper with these cartoon craft. They somehow develop ten times the thrust you could really expect from that much engine space in the airframe...and at the same time have ten times the fuel range. Getting into space needs a separate oxidant for the fuel...where is that stored then? I love how they are made to look plausible tho’ just don’t ask difficult questions huh!
Surprised that you didn't mention that the Stark Industries quinjet that Bruce Banner modified to dock with Avenger's Tower also includes a version of the Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. Light-Speed engine, which is ultimately how Hulk ended up on Sakaar.
@@r01d2 in ragnarok it was explained that the wormholes can open up randomly and it was one of those that brought Hulk to Sakaar. Especially considering how utterly SHIELD lost it over the ocean without any debris or black box to recover.
QuinJet: V-22 Osprey on steroids with thrusters, basically. The difference being, we HAVE the V-22, at great expense and after 20-plus years of trial and error. The QuinJet may, one day, be a possible replacement for the Osprey (and the Valor that the Army is looking at) - but not yet.
The "Broken Wing" award is for safely landing any aircraft that was damaged beyond practical expectation of a safe outcome...not just autorotations. Also, could "ducked fan" design aircraft like the quinjet or any of the aircraft in the James Cameron Avatar actually autorotate successfully? The rotor disc area is so small that the lift-producing surfaces would hardly be enough to dampen the falling weight of the air-frame (also the added friction of the co-axial design in the Avatar gunships might require an extraordinary amount of altitude loss before a usable rotor rpm for controlled autorotation could be established). Would love to hear thoughts on these concepts.
reading the various comments ... many say he didnt say if it was possible .. every aspect of the quinjet has a modern working equivalent ... other than the fuel storage a quinjet is possible with current technology and materials . vstol ... harrier lifting turbo fans ... f35 multiple jet engines ... any jet fighter that actually is in long term service ... lifting body form ... b2 essentially a quinjet is a dc3 with jet engines and a frame upgrade ...
The shield Quinjet is similar and looks like the UNSC pelican drop ship since I know you guys talk about halo lore sometimes you should do one talking about the pelican drop ship compared to the gunship that I get the fly in halo 4 and how it was more improved
5:16 this is no longer the same quin jet this is a different design from shield to avengers, stark made modifications and ultimately had one custom built your off topic
I love the quinn jet. It is awesome. To bad it is only in the movies. I would love to see it in real life but like the guy below said where will you store the fuel? Unless it is so far advanced that it runs on alternative energy source not using liquid fuel.
Speaking from experience, I am a veteran Quin Jet mechanic, pilot, chief engineer and blood donor. The quin jet is the most advanced, powered by Odin himself. It can tie your shoes and predict any number between 1 and 3 with 33% accuracy.
I think its funny how you said the f35 is cheaper than the quinjet... Cause those puppys aint cheap by any means. Really puts the Quin into perspective.
This story about Dubai is so true that the controllers in Dubai actually lie about the OAT, 56 C being the max limit for most Emirates operated aircrafts, you can hear during summer all day long in the ATIS OAT 56 C ;)

A game that rewards an achievement for having a safe crash landing for a helicopter that I know of was Rising Storm 2 Vietnam

What's better than that
Alan's breakdown of the Quinjet makes it sound like, at least to me, the galaxy-class starship from Star Trek. The way it uses power and thrust instead of aerodynamics seems very similar.
I think Generation Films should do a video about the Lions from Voltron: Legendary Defender. I want to see what scientific explanations Alan can come up with.
just with 4 more engines that actually work as intended unlike the single engine f35 jet test bed .... as of now it isnt good for anything else

Glad you mentioned the broken wing award, we had two apache pilots in my unit get these. It was great they survived.
Honestly, that is great thing. It's tough enough losing buddies. Besides there are no posthumous Broken Wing awards.
As an aerospace engineer, I have to unfortunately inform you that the quinjet is a physical impossibly. There is no metal on Earth that has that stiffness, yield strength and lightness known to man. There is also no fuel, short of an unshielded compact nuclear reactor, with that much power density to be able to boost that heavy craft into space. It just can't exist.
However, if Congress is willing to authorize a multibillion dollar development contract, my company will be happy to spend it for you.
Pardon a moment. But this universe has people like Tony Stark who make flying suits of armour that can take tank rounds. And this was him borrowing the metallurgy from a satellite project as I recall. So stiff yet light weight seems to be there. Shield also seems unimpressed with the miniature arc reactor. As though they already had one. So perhaps they are at least partially powered in this manner? They really don't get into the nuts a bolts of how it works.
These superhero flicks are for people who don't think about things, not for you. You should watch The Expanse.
it's comics, so relax.

The quinjet is ok but the Pelican from Halo is better.
The question that I'd like answered is: would both of them actually be able to fly in atmosphere? I'd love to see a wind tunnel test (among others) on both vehicles to determine whether or not both designs could even work in atmo.
@@Blue-Gold_Crusader Quinjet maybe Pelican definitely not. The wings are too short to provide lift instead it has downward facing VTOL thrusters and the rear dual thrusters can swivel/vector to provide further lift and control. Watch the Installation 00 pelican breakdown for more information.
Does the Arwing(Arrow Wing)design from Star Fox make sense?

@@johnverick-smith9794 I heard the first models of the pelican (the bungie series) actually could work aerodynamically. Its body as a whole generated lift when in flight while the vtol jets were for hovering and low speed maneuvers. The problem is we dont actually have a fuel that would work. Or engines probably. But that's sci-fi stuff anyway. I'm more interested in the aerodynamics actually working because sci-fi can wave fingers and say 500 years of better rocketry.
@@colekenney2965 I think most of the unsc vehicles in halo use cold fusion engines
The Quinjet has 5 engines -- you mentioned the 2 jet engines, and 2 VTOL engines. It also has 1 linear areospike rocket engine that I think you only see in the AOS series to take it into space.
I built an SSTO in KSP with 2 Whiplash jets, 2 Thuds for above 20 km, and 1 NERV for space. I should call that a Quinjet.
01:55 Man, I didn't realize that it was an old model of Quinjet before watching this video.
Ok, some problems I notice:
1. First and foremost: 3 reasonably sized afterburning turbofans or even turboramjets would have considerable difficulty getting it to its stated airbreathing top speed of mach 2.1. The airframe doesn't appear to follow the Whitcomb area rule well at all and is pretty chubby. So at sea level it might not even break mach 1.
2. It is very clearly designed for high alpha maneuvers, with high lift devices on the relatively deep wings and canted vertical stabilizers. However, this requires that it be at low dynamic pressure to not rip the wings or kill the crew. Having the jets sitting above the fuselage like that, will make force to slam it forward. Maybe even tumble it headfirst into the ground if it stalls. I seriously wonder why the engine are not sitting to the sides.
4. The intake design is highly questionable during high alpha maneuvers. This is especially important because if an engine suddenly chokes and stalls from the drop in air pressure, the aircraft may leave the envelope of controlled flight as the pitchdown moment from the engine ceases and so does the vertical thrust. Even if it has thrust vector control, it may not actually have the power to regain control in a timely manner after a compressor stall.
5. Considering how it might be prone to going into a deep stall, the aircraft looks to have a lot of angular inertia in yaw. The wideset engines, huge wings, and turbofans (but really more like ducted turboprops) in the wings lend themselves to making it harder to escape a flat spin. And the anhedral on the wings doesn't help, although their being high on the fuselage does.
6. Obviously this thing is not designed as an SSTO or a submersible aircraft and wouldn't function as one without applying a healthy dose of ultra-futuristic magitech.
"Magitech" - says it all beautifully.
I'm pinning this. Great analysis.
I was expecting more of an indept analysis of the aircraft design. Ehehe
This video would have been a bit better if you'd focused on one specific line of quinjets (the SHIELD/Hydra type seen in the first avengers film,, civil war, and the agents of shield series) and then examined the larger Stark built Avengers version seen in later films as a separate entity. which is very clearly is, being of a different size, design, and performance.
Yeah - he generalized everything. The Stark quinjet is single piloted and uses repulsors for VTOL where the SHEILD version has two pilots and uses ducted fans for VTOL, later upgraded with scramjet engines for the thrust
Something I don't like about the Quinjet is the articulating cockpit design... Adds a failure point
Not to mention huge weight.
Also some really funky aerodynamics as well as just unnecessary complexity.
Shit its a movie
i just noticed in every movie they always portray the fighter jets as having dual guns when they actually dont and only have 1 gun
The placement is also very wrong. They would never put a weapon system in the engine intakes. That's a lot of work to make that work.
@@johnverick-smith9794 I'm assuming the varient in the movie is an F-35B, so no internal cannons. While the F-35B can mount a gun pod, it still does not have an internal cannon. Only the A varient can mount an internal cannon.
TnT Productions right? I can’t believe so many people miss this fact. The F-35A has a 25mm cannon above its right wing root. The B and C models carry a 25mm cannon in an external gun pod mounted under the fuselage. However the Airforce has been having problems with the internal cannon on the F-35. It’s accuracy is questionable and it’s been cracking it’s mounting brackets
Also every fighter jet, for some reason, needs be shown, with its afterburner engaged.
And you never see aelerons or elevators move.
I personally think someone got the idea from the Skyranger from the Xcom series. At least the idea for a jet/VTOL vehicle capable of depositing a squad for operations wherever it's needed. Something about the idea is just so badass.
having looked at some pictures, I'm now much more sure it was at least part of the inspiration. The Skyranger from Enemy Unknown has the same two turbofans in the wings and general bulkiness. Though they definitely made their own unique model that is probably more realistic.
Both were likely inspired by the V-22 Osprey
@@mocoj7423the quinjet appears in the comic's as far back as 1969 avengers #61
Tony can survive literally falling out of the sky in the Iron Man suit; I doubt a bit of maneuvering would cause someone in that world to black out. The must have some kind of inertial dampers.
Hey as long as they keep the blinker fluid topped off, they should be fine.
"The helicopter Is a flying brick"
As a friend of mine put it, "A weird collection of aviation parts loosely traveling in the same general direction."
He was a helicopter design engineer.
So would a 747 be a cinder-block?
It appears the Quinjet also uses a hybrid lifting-body design, which would better explain its bulky fuselage.
IIRC, the quadjet was not VTOL, it was STOSL (Short Take-Off, Short-Landing). And somehow made space-worthy by Director Krennik.
Somehow = Lots of caulking.
I think the Gau-17 sounding like a single-barrel vickers machine gun was the most rage-inducing facet of this aircraft. Marvel can't handle the BRRRRR!
My interpretation of the downward flex of the wings upon landing is that it's done to enhance ground effect. It captures the high pressure air underneath that is produced by those rotors and the high attack forward movement, making a cushion underneath.
I’ve been waiting for this exact video but discussing the troop transport helicopter (not the gunships) from Pandora.
I know that several folks have built scale models of the Pandora craft, but they make use of quad rotor tech, the wings don't provide much, if any, lift.
@@tjh44961 I genuinely believe that those are contra rotating rotors.
"Helicopters are flying bricks"
The quinjets design in Age of Ultron is different, right? It seemed so much advanced and more badass
Are you going to do the MIG Firefox from the Clint Eastwood movie of the same name
Do the Milano next!
I wonder if Cap could take the Milano down like he took out the Quinjet by bouncing his shield off of it twice.
Please make a video about the breakdown on the Zeon Mobile Suits
And the original Gundam
@@maverickso8397 The video should also make references to the 2018 movie Ready Player One that featured robots sponsored by Bandai such as Voltron, Gundam, and Mechagodzilla
The single funniest thing I've witnessed in this life is watching Ghost in the Shell in 1995, and then watching the USMC adopt pretty much EVERYTHING that flew in that movie as their standard infantry deployment tech in the 2010's.
Compare it to the OG comic book Quinjets... those things were literally flying bricks. :D
Great vid, but I have my doubts on the auto rotation theory. You would need more diameter to keep up rotational speed and the aerodynamical layout to support reversed airflow (as a helicopter has). Imho power off landings rely on gliding principle. But the most important feature: it looks cool and they do a lot to sell it as possibly working 😉
I agree, a helicopter has long wide rotors with plenty of surface area so they rotate quite slowly. The Quinjet has many small rotors blades in a housing, more like a ducted turbofan producing thrust than a rotor generating lift. They would need to be spinning at high speed to generate lift.
Jet engines also need colder air to work well, that's why the Harrier had an issue with sucking in it's own hot air and suddenly losing lift. the experimental Boeing X-32 had a cold air nozzle to act as a screen to push hot air from it's jets away from the intake.
The Quinjet is cool to me.
But I’m waiting for Tony Stark to add his Ark Reactor for a major power upgrade or add Vibranium armor like Captain America.
Weeeell, you're going to be waiting awhile for the simple fact that Tony's DEEEAAAD!!!
Cool video, but I was hoping for an answer as to how viable it’s design from a real world perspective. Maybe we’ll see one in the future?
It could be used to shuttle around soldiers, but not very well in battle, seeing how venerable the propellers were, and how of one went down, the ship goes down
The interesting part is that he goes back and forth between versions of the Quinjet to support his argument which makes it an unreliable argument. If you go back and forth between two versions of something which a massive amount of changes take place from V1 to V2.
2 things
1 is that while autorotations are an emergency procedure, they are in no way a crash landing. It's basically the equivalent of gliding a plane. Pilots practice them regularly and are very comfortable with the maneuver. I've ridden with a pilot on a practice autorotation it was not violent or terrifying.
2 I doubt the quintet can auto rotate as it has very small rotors and it is unlikely they are controlled through pitch adjustment. Also it has wings
As a stand alone transport it'd be faster than a helicopter while maintaining the VTOL of the helicopter. If we could actually make some, IRL, it would be awesome. Just wish there was a decent/available model kit for the quintet
How about the HALO Pelican, SHIELD Quinjet and LAAT face off?
Does the Arwing(Arrow Wing)design from Star Fox make sense?

The Quinjet is NOT just a Combat aircraft. It is a multirole aircraft that serves many roles.
As a student helicopter pilot the only thing you got right about helicopters is the auto rotation part. That's not how seal team six crashed and they are not like flying bricks they can glide. Not very well but if you couldn't glide you wouldnt be able to auto rotate.
You guys really truly need to do a breakdown of the Zephyr One from Agents of Shield
At about 8:00: I'd never even heard of plans having difficulty taking off in hot environments. Just goes to show - you live and learn
So, basically a Pelican from Halo? Then again, the Pelican explains why it has almost no fuel storage.(hint, it's fusion rockets)
As an aviation nerd I cringe every time I see the F-35 firing its guns against Hulk. Randomly throwing the muzzle flashes in the engine air intakes instead of the single flash in the right nose faring. Even your most basic research about the F-35 would have got that right.
Agreed. The aerospace engineer in me cringed every time i watch it.
One point about the Harrier in the Falklands is no of them were lost in air to air combat. Ground fire and faults / accidents only.
You should review the show Spaceforce
Love it

If I'm not mistaken, auto rotation depends on changing the pitch of the rotors of a helicopter, but can the quintet change the pitch of the rotors on its turbo fans though🤔
My greatest complaint on Quinjet in technical term are its Wing mounted fan. It consumes so much volume, down to the point of questionable amount of fuel volume it can carry.
I must support Alderwolf. Good engineer. You have several problems with these kind of ideas. One of the biggest is reaction mass. Which he pointed out. You need more fuel mass but more mass makes you accelerate less. You can't use F=MA anymore. Force is actually the time derivative of momentum. Which is F=MA in some situations but if you are blowing tons out the backside it quickly becomes inaccurate. If mass is constant, it is MA. Derivivate of velocity is acceleration.But is mass is rapidly changing it is a mess. If I recall correctly it is a Langrangian. Basically this means you go of the middle of where your rocket or plane thrusts to move and calculate equal and opposite masses from the craft and fuel expended. So you calculate from the mid point of thrust being expended to mass lost to your projectile/plane/spaceship opening up its engines. The Langrangian is L=V-T where V is the kinect energy and T is the potential energy. V means the energy of someone punching you and T means looking over a cliff and thinking, hmm I might die if I fell off. Sorry, longwinded, but this is why it is called reaction mass.
I seriously like to see us make something similar, for it will be better than anything we currently have,
According to agents of shield s7, quinjets exhibit 63000 pound force of thirst per turbine (not the vtol one). This is extremely powerful for its size and shows that shield rotors are very powerful.
Wasnt it in space at some point? I dont think that makes sense lol.
I take back what I said lol
you know, in Ragnarok, Thor's first plan was to use Avengers Quinjet to enter "Devil Anals" before abort the plan, either Thor just jump the gun or he know their Quinjet capable doing that
There are vacuum capable variants
In Agents of Shield, they took one orbital to trap an alien organism and blow it up. (Plus a former Hydra agent and a shield agent)
@@MonkeyJedi99 That's right, good call. It couldn't maneuver in space.
The Age Of Ultron Quinjet is not the same craft from Avengers Assemble or Agents Of Shield. It is referred to as such, but is a vehicle designed by Tony for the Avengers. It’s totally different. That’s why it’s covered in repulsors, not normal engines. Constantly referring generically to “the quinjet”, but showing the different versions is a bit inaccurate.
Very interesting about planes only taking off at night in Dubai. I never knew such a thing was the case 😳
Great video! I respect the amount of research you put into these videos! The details do not go unnoticed!
the problem with the hulk and "F-35B" scene is that it isn't really an F-35. first, none of the three versions has two cannons and second, the B version doesn't have an internal cannon it can only mount a pod mounted gun as the needed lift motor takes up to much space to allow a cannon mounted internally.
It was the F-35 "D" ...... idk lol :)
It's the same thing and setup as Foehammer's UNSC Pelican. Now, she delivers!!! R.I.P
Sci-fi spaceship to actually *want* is always the *van* spaceship. Topic to treat and discuss. :)
can you even reference the price of Quinjet in a universe with the Helicarriers or Iron Mans suit?
as sci fi becomes fact, it is telling that there are similarities that are blatant precursors to what we may see; "what will the Simpsons and DARPA dream up next?". My personal favorite are Halo's Pelicans and Falcons, Long sword and sabres look very familiar too.
The MCU has a lot of plot holes, one in particular I have issues with is back when Fury said that S.H.I.E.L.D started researching and developing weapons using the Tesseract, because of what happened in _Thor (2011)._
However, it's now been established in _Captain Marvel (2019)_ that S.H.I.E.L.D (Fury in particular) had already been aware of the existence of hostile alien forces since back in the 90's.
Meaning that S.H.I.E.L.D already had the means and reason to start making Tesseract based weaponry. Thus by the time _Thor (2011)_ or _Avengers (2012)_ rolled in, S.H.I.E.L.D would've already had an arsenal such weapons. Alternatively, Thanos would've also learned the location of the Tesseract and Earth much earlier.
I got the Lego quinjet it's a really good set. Highly recommend during these quarentine days
Makes sense. It should look pretty close. The Quinjet already looks like a Minecraft airframe.
For most the questions I see in the comments, people should really check out Agents of Shield. The show is awesome and goes more in-depth with the technical stuff in the MCU. Albeit, the show won't answer all of the questions.
Description correction: The S.H.I.E.L.D Quinjet is the latest in hybrid carrier fighters deployed by Avengers and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D in the Marvel films and TV show
Does the Helicarrier even have point defense weapons or really any way of intercepting in coming missiles? Seems like just a flying target, a single F22 taking out an engine and the whole thing comes down.
Id imagine that they do shield wouldn't be that dumb but that's what they have the cloak for.
You should break down the practicality of the UNSC Falcon compared to either the little bird or the Huey.
Hi guys,
Wondered if you'd do alternative scifi wargaming reviews?
Void 1.1's game "Age of Tyrants" 6mm wargame really interests me and love your review of the fighting strengths and armoured vehicles?
Good job analyzing most of that info but just one thing... almost all aircraft are pressurized but that doesn’t make them capable of space travel or under water travel. Even an aircraft specifically built for high altitude flying struggles with pressurization at 70k feet
Make a quinjet supersonic, we have ourselves a new Airwolf!
we did we called it the avro arrow ... 70 years ago ... ok it wasnt vstol ... the rest was there then ... and still hasnt been matched to date.
thats right the arrow's design specification that is was made to meet has not been met by modern jets like the f35, f22, f18 and even the f15 ... and all their variants ...
.
and the arrow was designed in the late 50's ... thats 70 years and no one has made a plane that matches what the arrow was designed to beat
@@0623kaboom Thanks, I know little about this plane other than it was Canadian, and way, waaay ahead it's time. There was a video somewhere that speculated how fare against the F-35 in terms of cost and tehnology if released now.
Cap took down the mighty quinjet like it was nothing, literally by vaguely bouncing his shield off of it twice.
I have to admit, the first time I saw a quinjet on film, my first thought was "wow, some movie people that actually created something that felt like it could be real, I love it!". Not quite as much as I like the Battlestar Galactica Raptor, but I would still take it as my second choice. Less cargo space in the Raptor, but FTL!! ^.^
Anything will fly, given enough thrust....but that is the show stopper with these cartoon craft. They somehow develop ten times the thrust you could really expect from that much engine space in the airframe...and at the same time have ten times the fuel range. Getting into space needs a separate oxidant for the fuel...where is that stored then? I love how they are made to look plausible tho’ just don’t ask difficult questions huh!
The Harley wasn’t dropped out of the quinjet in Sokovia. It was in Seoul, South Korea.
Surprised that you didn't mention that the Stark Industries quinjet that Bruce Banner modified to dock with Avenger's Tower also includes a version of the Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. Light-Speed engine, which is ultimately how Hulk ended up on Sakaar.
is it confirmed Hulk was space-jump by himself? I always have headcanon someone kidnap Hulk using bifrost-like way
@@r01d2 in ragnarok it was explained that the wormholes can open up randomly and it was one of those that brought Hulk to Sakaar. Especially considering how utterly SHIELD lost it over the ocean without any debris or black box to recover.
QuinJet: V-22 Osprey on steroids with thrusters, basically. The difference being, we HAVE the V-22, at great expense and after 20-plus years of trial and error. The QuinJet may, one day, be a possible replacement for the Osprey (and the Valor that the Army is looking at) - but not yet.
The "Broken Wing" award is for safely landing any aircraft that was damaged beyond practical expectation of a safe outcome...not just autorotations. Also, could "ducked fan" design aircraft like the quinjet or any of the aircraft in the James Cameron Avatar actually autorotate successfully? The rotor disc area is so small that the lift-producing surfaces would hardly be enough to dampen the falling weight of the air-frame (also the added friction of the co-axial design in the Avatar gunships might require an extraordinary amount of altitude loss before a usable rotor rpm for controlled autorotation could be established). Would love to hear thoughts on these concepts.
Not to mention that the atmosphere in the aliens' planetary Avatar is not the same as Earth's (20% denser).
Nice mention of the vortex ring effect. That is death for a helicopter at low altitude.
reading the various comments ... many say he didnt say if it was possible .. every aspect of the quinjet has a modern working equivalent ... other than the fuel storage a quinjet is possible with current technology and materials
.
vstol ... harrier
lifting turbo fans ... f35
multiple jet engines ... any jet fighter that actually is in long term service ...
lifting body form ... b2
essentially a quinjet is a dc3 with jet engines and a frame upgrade ...
It was very good for transporting troops or supplies from space to atmosphere and also they could of just research military space ships
The shield Quinjet is similar and looks like the UNSC pelican drop ship since I know you guys talk about halo lore sometimes you should do one talking about the pelican drop ship compared to the gunship that I get the fly in halo 4 and how it was more improved
5:16 this is no longer the same quin jet this is a different design from shield to avengers, stark made modifications and ultimately had one custom built your off topic
I love the quinn jet. It is awesome. To bad it is only in the movies. I would love to see it in real life but like the guy below said where will you store the fuel? Unless it is so far advanced that it runs on alternative energy source not using liquid fuel.
Certainly wish we got Arc Reactor all over the world
I'm pretty sure you can't auto rotate a ducted fan aircraft. The blades have too little surface area.
Speaking from experience, I am a veteran Quin Jet mechanic, pilot, chief engineer and blood donor. The quin jet is the most advanced, powered by Odin himself. It can tie your shoes and predict any number between 1 and 3 with 33% accuracy.
now for the Zephyr in Agents of SHEILD
My only quibble is that you never answer the question posed by this episode's title. Does the quinjet design make sense?
It really doesnt
QuadJet reminds me of more than a little bit of the Pelican from the HALO series
Great breakdown man... very well done!
I think its funny how you said the f35 is cheaper than the quinjet... Cause those puppys aint cheap by any means. Really puts the Quin into perspective.
This story about Dubai is so true that the controllers in Dubai actually lie about the OAT, 56 C being the max limit for most Emirates operated aircrafts, you can hear during summer all day long in the ATIS OAT 56 C ;)
How about Halo Pelican Dropship/Sparrowhawk VTOL/Gunship or Command and Conquer Orca VTOL/Gunship?
PS: I love both aircraft.
I wonder will it replace a current transport/attack helicopters and A-10 for transportation, med-evac, gunship and close air support?
Because many sci-fi video games/movies always make it badass futuristic and useful in combat.
