Biggest Aircraft and Starships of Dune and Dune 2 Movies

- Four years ago, despite the pandemic we witnessed an emerging epic in the remake of Dune and this year, it climaxed with Dune part 2’s release. Frank Herbert all those decades back created a sci-fi masterpiece that is still making headlines till this day. So here in this video we will dive and discuss the 10 Aircrafts and Starships that were showcased and featured in the 2020 Dune remake and 2024 Dune 2 movie.
Also commonly referred to as just 'thopters, they were the most common small transport vessels of the Imperium.
In the beginning scenes of Dune part one, whilst on Caladan, the homeworld of the Atreides, we are treated with a delightful scene of a highly maneuverable, supersonic, probably hypersonic capable aircraft that is now commonly termed as the Atreides fighter jet.
The Harkonnen variants are seen to be shaped like light brown PS4 joysticks with two bulbous wings. They can transport upto 300 soldiers and have the ability to deploy balloons for assisted landing and levitation.
The Harkonnen gunship, a formidable combat vessel utilized by the Harkonnen armed forces, possesses great firepower with its combination of missiles and lasers.
A Frigate, also referred to as a Space Frigate is a class of Starship. It was the largest space-faring vessel that could successfully land and take off from a planet's surface in one piece.
A Heighliner was a colossal starship operated by the Spacing Guild to transport people and equipment throughout the known universe. These immense vessels could easily accommodate thousands of passengers, entire fleets of smaller ships, and vast quantities of planetary goods. - บันเทิง
“The frigate is the largest type of ship that can land on a planet in one piece” - proceeds to show the much larger emperors ship land.
It was still a Frigate Class ship maybe during the era when the Thinking Machine ruled the Empire.
It didn't technically land. It hovered.
@@Zarth32 and it looks like a circle... A Sphere shaped circle. Kinda like a dragonball Z ball. Another looks like a playstation controller. 🙄
The Emperor's ship didn't actually land though.
@@Zarth32Then how do you supposed to get people on it?
Using a smaller shuttle transport ship?
Then what’s the point of coming all the way down hovering a few meters just above the surface of the planet?
Made absolutely no sense at all.
I love youtubes subtitles putting Canada for Caladan and Iraq for Arakkis.
I mean the sounds are more or less familiar to ur brain, hahahahaha
@@nikkotan2840 yeah, thought it was funny because the landscapes for both match quite well also!
Does the Baron count as an aircraft?
More like a floating doughnut! 🤣
Villeneuve's Dun is not a "remake", it is an adaptation of the novel by the same name, just as was Lynch's Dune movie. For a movie to be a remake, it must be an adaptation of a previous movie or TV show with an original screenplay, not one that was an adaptation from a literary or other source. The latter is something that has remade something, not re-adapted something.
Technically they made another Dune movie/movies, so you can say they were remade.
But you're right, the term everyone should use is adaptation.
Oh good, another pedant. Just what the world needs.
Just watched 1 and 2 back to back for the 3rd time, now I'm on a Dune rabbit hole on TH-cams lol.
Great video, cheers from Chile! 🇨🇱
How is this video great? It's loaded with errors, poorly researched, doesn't even bother to give references for scale. Incredibly stupid video, stop promoting it.
Wow, these transports are really inventive for the franchise's worldbuilding!
Not to mention 🆒️ looking
left when he said humming birds bloody obvious its dragonflies
Sorry Mr. MindQ! …the Ornithopters were not patterned after the flight-patterns of hummingbirds - or birds at all, really. They were patterned after insects and, specifically, Dragonflies… absolutely!
I guess you weren't paying attention about the Highliners in the new remake. They actually are wormhole bridges that ships passthrough so no ships are carried in them.
I have to admit as a Dune book fan the way the space crafts looked like, to me at least, how I'd picture many spacecrafts would look considering A.I. was banned and using it or machines that can do computations would result in immediate death
As a nitpick, the Atreides frigates aren't "starships" - all of the spacecraft except for Guild Heighliners are merely interplanetary, in-system craft. In the Dune universe, the Spacing Guild has a total monopoly on interstellar travel. The tech required to for interstellar travel also needs a spice-mutated Guild "Navigator" to function, so it's not like anyone else can have their own starship fleet; even the Emperor needs the Spacing Guild to move between star systems.
Corrections your honor: A "frigate" cannot be a "capital warship" as listed in the thumbnail. It is a "frigate" ("any full-rigged ship built for speed and manoeuvrability, intended to be used in scouting, escort and patrol roles"). As for the "Emperor's Ship", it would be the "Imperial Flagship" not the "Royal Flagship". But note that the "Flagship" is literally that (generally large) ship of the fleet on which the big boss has elected to set up headquarters. In this case, the large mirror ball seems to be more like a "representative transport", like an Aurus Senat car, just larger and with more amenities, including a deployable "imperial tent" and enough antigravity magic to break the Holtzmann equations.
One may note that these are not really starship at all - they just lift cargo from ground to a Guild Heighliner (in the Villeneuve Duniverse, apparently a wormhole end? Jeez, I don't know!) and the reverse. No need to go far, but maybe interplanetary travel is a thing? I don't know whether Holtzmann generators can deal with that, but as I see no reaction mass anywhere, they must.
I don't actually know how spice smuggler ships work (we never see any either), they probably must load/unload smuggled cargo to a "whitewashed" vessel that can hitch a ride on a Heighliner. Fanfiction is possible here.
...impressive. 🤔
2seat variant was smallest. Modeled after dragonfly not hummingbird.
Aircraft is both singular and plural
Finally, someone did it. I've been waiting for a channel to dive into their spaceships
Except that he got many details wrong. Thousands on a ship 20km long? More like millions.
Did it all wrong ,mixing hummingbird with dragonfly, which hummingbird has 4 or 6 wings 😅, mixed harkonnen gunship with mothership even year wrong its 2021 not 22.
Better they don't do it then do it half assed
Finally someone did what? A poorly researched and error ridden video that doesn't even bother to deliver on its premise?
The Dune Universe is pretty new to me, but wasn't there something about forbidden weapons like "Laser" since they cause dramatic explosions if they hit a shield?
Just wondering because you say some of thise Aircraft have "Las guns" on it. Wouldn't make sense then, right?
The witches arrived to Kaladan in a small ship as seen in the first part of the movies. You must have missed that sequence.
No laser guns on any of these as far as I remember. Correct me if my memory is faulty but laser weaponry impacting a Dune forcefield creates a nuclear reaction which is why no lasers are used as weapons in Dune. Anything that looks like a laser is actually tracer rounds, plasma, particle weapons, sonic or something else.
your memory is faulty. Lasguns appear more in the movie than in the book, but they are still used. Especially in the spice fields as it is fatal to use the Holtzman shield in worm territory
@@santosl.harper4471 Yes and no, his memory is far from faulty: the shield in fact produces the Holtzman effect, which acts on the repulsive force of subatomic particles, slowing them down to the point of parrying any attack. However, the shields are not calibrated to ward off a laser capable of traveling at the speed of light, which would cause subatomic fusion and a chain reaction leading to a nuclear explosion. Yes, you can use a laser, but it's almost suicide.
This explains why only the Harkonnens are stupid enough to use the laser against Duncan's ornithopter in the film. Only the Harkonnens aren't afraid of the risks involved in using lasers.
@@zorg5403 it's faulty... and so is yours! go read the book my friend
@@santosl.harper4471 well, I remember no shields cos it pisses the worms off, and las weapons on shield is bad, all the Thopters had shields, all space based ships have shields, therefore NO las based weapons are ever used... only Projectile weapons.
well thats what i think.
"Know more than thine audience" -- Bene Tleilax Admonishment
It’s 2021 remake, not 2022
I think that It count all the movies we have now
@@miriamemanueleforneris3701 i know that, he just made an error about the first movie being in 2022
Depends which calendar you’re using
Calm your teats.
@@joshgladfelter9597 "Depends which calenders you're using"
Dude, we use the same calendar as anyone else
It's not a remake of the Lynch movie and the Atreides ornythoptheres cannot be imperial since the Atreides are not the imperial house. Precision is key if you do not desire to misguide people.
You say that, but he is technically right, Paul becomes the new emperor
@@tgiacin435 yes at the end of the movies but when it is presented, it’s only atreides aircrafts!
Would you say the Venator Star Class Destroyer is an imperial ship?
At 2:20, why is the first image of a carryall a LEGO model? (I'd like to note that the lifting gasbag makes *this* version of the carryall visually distinct, but isn't scaled to be useful. A harvester is heavy, and a gasbag (hydrogen or helium) in an Earthlike atmosphere has very little buoyancy per unit volume, so most of the lift will necessarily be provided by suspensors.)
sounds logical
And what about the Atreides battleship that appeared in Dune 2?
Did he make most of this up??? Frank Herbert made no mention of future power sources or space travel propulsion systems.
Have you read ALL six books? Read Chapterhouse, again if necessary.
The envoy/bene ship isn’t larger than the Atreides frigate
"Gunship"? Missile barge.
I would like to know, for the last ship, HOW the heck they even able to build such a HUGE HUGE Ship. It must have take decades to build one.
Nice video, good to see a little bit more of the ships in the movies.
I don't think that the Spaceguild ships are only 25 km. We unfortunately do not have a scale of the ships we see getting in and out of these behemoths, but those ships are absolutely tiny compared to the Spaceguild behemoths. If we consider that one of those tiny ships could be a frigate 300m longs, then the Spaceguild ships could be 100-150km long.
Agreed. The Spacing Guild's ships are gargantuan! With ship ranging anywhere from a few hundred to a couple thousand miles long and a couple hundred miles wide. Ships twenty percent as wide as they are long- With an inter-galactic empire to feed you need enormous ships you could transplant a whole peoples with.
The Spice must flow!
they also exist in 2 places at once eg one side {entry portal} is at the origin point and the other side {exit portal} is at the destination, spiced up folding space warp stuff ftw
Great video, i enjoyed this overview on a topic i find very interesting!
You forgot the Emperor's steel tent.
How do they move without engines
Wasnt dune part 1 released in 2021?
Aircraft NOT aircrafts!
not hummingbird the statement is wrong they were modeled after the insect dragonfly
3:39 it isnt gunship from second film, its 6:19, lol
👏👏👏👏
Great video and i'm sure u'll be please to know it was recommended to me even though i rarely look up sci fi stuff... probably from checking out new movies details, more so...
↑ Comment for your algorithm + *👍 'd*
#OldManPaxus Rating: ★★★
_P.s. I think u miss-judge how large ur audience for this topic is, i wouldn't be using 'dragon-ball-z'🙄, twice..., as a reference to describe the shape of ships! 😋 Also, around __7:45__, this gigantic mother ship, is colossal, and u talk about it's capacity, as able to hold 'thousands of ppl'...🤔...which is strange, since you seen to be aware it can hold (probably more than) thousands of other _ships!_ It's NOT a big deal but i would have expected you to say, hundreds of thousands or millions... The thing is over 20km long!!....._
There are many aspects of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen’s personality that are strange, bizarre, perverted and highly unnatural….

Wish dragon from dragon ball super?
@@sumitkumary4 probally!
@@sumitkumary4supershenron?
1. It is not a remake, it is a new and original adaptation.
2. The Ornithopters are modeled on dragonflies, nothing to do with hummingbirds.
3. There is a smaller 2-seater model of Ornithopter, and several larger ones, some being Harkonnen.
4. “The frigate is the largest type of ship that can land on a planet in one piece”... The significantly larger emperor's ship literally lands in one piece in your video.
5. You mixed up the Harkonnen gunship with the mothership.
6. Dune Part 1 was released in 2021, not 2022.
7. "Aircrafts" is not a word. "Aircraft" can be used both singular and plural.
8. A number of ships featured throughout both films are missing from this video.
9. The thumbnail implies there will be scale comparisons, but we never such see side-by-sides in the video. We learn nothing new about the ships or their scale.
Seriously, if you're going to publish such willfully misinformed and low effort nonsense, why even bother making the video?
There is so much wrong in this video i almost get the impression the author never watched the movies at all....
😆
super fome
Frigate is pronounced Frig ut rather than Frig ate.
Dune was not a remake. It was another adaptation. There is a distinction. Frank Herbert created Dune. Nobody else did.
Can you make top 10 biggest ghosts in live action movie and animated tv series please now!
Many mistakes
All of these models looks very simple and amateur , like made by amateur cgi artist. Just simple blocks and small amount of details. Nothing impressive. you have better quality of models in vidoegames. It's not about simplicity but ability to create models.

You video is riddled with inaccuracies. Stop it.
Please mention a few.
Did you read past the first book? Did you even read the first book? Tsk tsk.
Awful! - Terrible research! 😂😂😂😆😆😆🤣
It's aircraft not aircrafts. That's almost as bad as calling math maths. Even TH-cam's autocorrect agrees ;-)
"Maths" is the standard way to call it in the UK. Variations in language, you know.
Do you say mathematic class or mathematics class?
English is at least the dude’s second language. Give him a break! Also, as an Australian, maths as a shortening of mathematicS makes sense!
@@rikk319 Haha yes I know the Englishes say maths.
@@CP-pt1ot I would say the latter... because it's good grammar.
Dude, you know nothing about the Dune universe. All your information came from what you saw on the films. Do better research.
Go make a video about it yourself then if your not happy
title of the video, please see it.
@@artisticgamer777 maybe at least he shouldn't make stuff up or say things that are straight up wrong and not in the movies.
And in the original Dune books, there are only vague descriptions of the ships.
@@Pakicetus_Not really a valid justification to made stuff up yourself because the official content is “vague”
You are mixing everything up firstly the ornithopter mimics dragonfly insects not birds, do you know ant hummingbird that have 4 or 6 wings???
Also your mixing harkonnen mothership scene in part 1 with harkonnen gunship scene in pt 2 they're not the same ship
