As an aircraft mechanic, one thing really sticks out like a sore thumb and that is the question where does it store it's fuel, assuming it runs on jet fuel at all. Aircraft store most, it not all, their fuel in their wings and this thing has its wing internal spaces taken up by lift engines.

"While the Quinjet may struggle a superhuman riding a Harley". Best burn of the video :D

I still liking the Quinjet 2012 more than AOU Quinjet, because AOU Quinjet design-wise looks like a generic sci-fi ship and Quinjet 2012 is more tacticool

Do the Zephyr One from Agents of SHIELD!

F-35: "Cheaper than the Quinjet and could be used for interception and air-to-air combat." Not very effective against a giant green rage monster.

The F-35 used by SHIELD is even so amazing that it can fire autocannon shells out of the jet air intake vents instead of the actual gun port or cannon hardpoints....

9:20 having to be able to successfully crash land as part of the test to get your license is actually pretty badass 🐅

The Quin Jet sees a ton of action in Agents of Shield. Super underrated sci-fi show. They also feature a ship called The Zephyr, which is basically a Quin Jet mother-ship and areal command center as well as starship Edit: Glad it got featured in the video!

Jets and planes cut through the air helicopters on the other hand just beat it into submission

A F-35 flying troop transport with cloaking tech

You missed the "and Air to Hulk combat" quip when using the scene from Avengers of Hulk jumping at the plane. I love these videos and please keep them coming!

Glad you mentioned the broken wing award, we had two apache pilots in my unit get these. It was great they survived.

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.

"The helicopter Is a flying brick"

01:55 Man, I didn't realize that it was an old model of Quinjet before watching this video.

I was expecting more of an indept analysis of the aircraft design. Ehehe

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 quinjet is ok but the Pelican from Halo is better.

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.

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.

"Helicopters are flying bricks"

Something I don't like about the Quinjet is the articulating cockpit design... Adds a failure point

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.

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.

It appears the Quinjet also uses a hybrid lifting-body design, which would better explain its bulky fuselage.

The quinjets design in Age of Ultron is different, right? It seemed so much advanced and more badass

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!

Great video! I respect the amount of research you put into these videos! The details do not go unnoticed!

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.

Do the Milano next!

Are you going to do the MIG Firefox from the Clint Eastwood movie of the same name

I’ve been waiting for this exact video but discussing the troop transport helicopter (not the gunships) from Pandora.

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.

Please make a video about the breakdown on the Zeon Mobile Suits

Oh yea its da thicc boi

Great breakdown man... very well done!

IIRC, the quadjet was not VTOL, it was STOSL (Short Take-Off, Short-Landing). And somehow made space-worthy by Director Krennik.

Thanks for this video and you guys are awesome

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.

Compare it to the OG comic book Quinjets... those things were literally flying bricks. :D

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.

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?

Amazing explanation

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 😉

Wasnt it in space at some point? I dont think that makes sense lol. I take back what I said lol

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

Very interesting about planes only taking off at night in Dubai. I never knew such a thing was the case 😳

You guys really truly need to do a breakdown of the Zephyr One from Agents of Shield

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?

I seriously like to see us make something similar, for it will be better than anything we currently have,

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

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.

설명감사합니다. 담아갈게요:)

Sci-fi spaceship to actually *want* is always the *van* spaceship. Topic to treat and discuss. :)

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.

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

Great video. Can you to a video about the High Guard Force Lance from Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda. It's like the Quinjet of melee weapons.

so hope that mean we can have a video in future about agents of s.h.i.e.l.d. zephyr one

It's the same thing and setup as Foehammer's UNSC Pelican. Now, she delivers!!! R.I.P

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.

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.

The Quinjet is NOT just a Combat aircraft. It is a multirole aircraft that serves many roles.

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.

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.

I got the Lego quinjet it's a really good set. Highly recommend during these quarentine days

Good video; how would you compare the Quinjet to BSG's Raptors?

Whatever it is with your voice, I like it👌

Cap took down the mighty quinjet like it was nothing, literally by vaguely bouncing his shield off of it twice.

QuadJet reminds me of more than a little bit of the Pelican from the HALO series

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🤔

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

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

You should review the show Spaceforce

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.

Nice mention of the vortex ring effect. That is death for a helicopter at low altitude.

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!

So, basically a Pelican from Halo? Then again, the Pelican explains why it has almost no fuel storage.(hint, it's fusion rockets)

Make a quinjet supersonic, we have ourselves a new Airwolf!

now for the Zephyr in Agents of SHEILD

it has the aerodynamics of a flying brick

Hey hey don't know if this message will get read by you but it's worth a try you should look at the movie stealth and the aircraft in it I really love that movie and it helps send me towards the path that I am on today! Im an aircraft enthusiasts and those designs always will have a special place

Have you done one on the Valkyrie?

Quinjets looks like a stingray wearing metal armor and has no tail.

You should break down the practicality of the UNSC Falcon compared to either the little bird or the Huey.

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.

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!! ^.^

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 ;)

Nice

It was very good for transporting troops or supplies from space to atmosphere and also they could of just research military space ships

I love the quinjet its the one of the best vehicles in the mcu

How about the HALO Pelican, SHIELD Quinjet and LAAT face off?

My only quibble is that you never answer the question posed by this episode's title. Does the quinjet design make sense?

In certain aspects this aircraft makes 100% and i love to see it in real life cause with our current technology we may be able to make something like this but only for troop carrying and ground support

the turbo fans work by using spinning geras kinda like lego but that the bigger gear is the fan and smaller gears are the one that spin the fan

Its a beautiful birdie :D

can you even reference the price of Quinjet in a universe with the Helicarriers or Iron Mans suit?

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.

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.

Nice video. Did you know your hat was swinted the whole time though?

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.
