@Spacedock Have you looked at the Aircraft from Love Death and Robots think it's called a Whiskey Black Hawk not 100% sure and the Enemy stealth fighters T-21
Spacedock That by far was the best sponsored video clip I have ever seen, across all RUclips channels. If more sponsored videos were done like that, I would enjoy them a whole lot more. Bloody brilliant, not to mention hilarious. 😂
Thank you so much for making your sponsor segment actually tolerable
Can you please do some 40k
Quinjet and Helicarrier but no flying car? I love the Helicarrier as much as any Marvel fan but for absolutely stupendous ridiculous awesomeness nothing matches the Shield flying car. It has a Vulcan gatling gun stashed in the trunk, a Vulcan is roughly the same size as the car!
No.2: A fast, sleek and practical aircraft that gets things done whilst still looking classic and beautiful.
No.1: It's a completely useless flying aircraft carrier and it's awesome.
Wonderful choices that i cannot fault
For a second i thought you were referring to the Retribution from Infinite Warfare as number 1.
@@Afterburner215 Infinite Warfare was, as COD games go, a nice break from the norm in my opinion, I love the whole contrast between the UNSA/SATO and the SDF regarding ships and equipment.
Weirdly enough the Helicarrier finds itself in a weirdly specific situation that makes its attributes very useful in Age of Ultron
Zekram Nordran meanwhile an actual flying aircraft carrier, the USS Akron, could do most of that without needing anti-cyclone systems
I've seen a lot of nordvpn ads, but this made me lol, and outshines all the rest.
yea loved it to.
this is how you do ads on youtube. take something boring like ad and make it your own and fun
Same! It was so creative that I actually signed up for a plan, myself!
The ad alone was worth watching this video :D
I got disappointed, as I believe all VPNs should protect the user against cylon nuclear bombardment.
@@marcosbravo9645 Same but I could really use Wrath of God protection as well. Jimi Hendrix music not so much, but . . . .
If only the Colonials had used Linux alongside NordVPN we could have seen the Colonial fleet fighting at full strength.
No, baltars CPN would still have disabled the whole fleet and the fall still would have happened. Vpn or not.
The cylons had a full backdoor into the defense mainframe.
@@FreeThePorgs Thanks for that, Mr. Fun
Cylon: I will destroy this men career
NordVPN: I NordVPN shall not allow you to harm this gentlemen
Porg liberation movement Whoosh.
They also needed a full image backup.
And a redundant hardwired analogue system, just to be safe.
The Concept Artist for the Quinjet, the Helicarrier, and the Infinity Gauntlet are the same person, Tim Flattery.
Dear god the puns that man must suffer on a daily basis with that amount of talent and a name like that...
@@Hydralysk445 he must be flattered, i know I'd be
@@Hydralysk445 I'm amazed it only went as far as two. The year's still young, though. That seems to be about the half-life of a RUclips post. :-)
@@67kemo Flattery will get you nowhere.. Except in this case. Where it gets you cool craft designs.
I'm loving the prominence of Thunderbirds on this channel, it doesn't get nearly as much recognition as it deserves.
he must have recently binge watched the thunderbirds franchise.
That might be one of the more innovative in-segment advertisements I've seen, and I love it. And in the middle of such a great video as well.
I just love how the "Thunderbirds are Go" redesigns keep to the original design and have it make more sense. the new arms on TB3, the rotation on TB5 the escape pods for TB4, the better cockpit layout and multiple visible hatches for equipment for TB1, and of course the modular pod vehicles assembled on site in TB2, just brilliant!
It’s been a few years since I last watched it, but I don’t remember any arms on TB3 or escape pods on TB4
Edit: my mistake, I read thunderbirds are go to mean the early 2000s movie with busted, not the newer show
Spacedock: mentions banshee and quinjet
Halo Pelican and Phantom:
*Am I a joke to you*
For real. He included the helicarrier and not the pelican 😭 wtf was he thinking
Aircraft. Pelicans and Phantoms are capable of flight in a vacuum, like from a carrier in orbit to the surface and vice versa.
One of my favorites has always been the C-21 Dragon Gunship from Avatar.
Agreed, that and the StarCraft II Banshee that's very similar in concept.
Now THAT is how you do a sponsored promotion. Brilliant.
You know a guy's British for sure if he calls it "Avengers: Assemble"
@@firstnamesurname6130 It's just called "Avengers"
I think its because there's a brit movie called "the Avengers" so the MCU movie was called "Avengers:Assemble" to avoid confusion
That confused me. I was wondering if there had been a short film or something that I didn't know about.
It was a TV show back in the 60’s.
@@zekramnordran9526 there was a TV show called "The Avengers"
The Avengers quinjet is unique. It is designed for the specific purpose of transporting the elite teams for longer periods of time. In other words, the normal quinjet is what everyone else uses.
The U.S. Government has used two flying aircraft carriers (Macon and Akron) in the past and has tried and is trying to make one out of a jumbo jet. The channel mustard has a great video on airborne aircraft carriers.
Payne Persons yeh but I don’t those are coming out of mothballs anytime soon. They were still a cool concept, pity they didn’t last too long
Well, if we go further into the past, we have soviet "Звено" system that was used for striking deep into romanian territory at the beginning of WW2.
As for modern day example, I've heard that israelis are developing automated patrol blimp with and ability to carry and launch drones.
But do systems without abilities to take aircraft back on board count as carriers?
I like that we got to see the Quinjet prototype in Captain Marvel.
PS. The Expanse season 5 just confirmed! Yay!
It also had an awesome paint job.
Oh. I just realised that IS the Quinjet prototype. Huh. Neat.
Season 5???
You just made my day. Thanks!
JVMMs HOW. How did you not notice?
I think an honorable mention should go to Firefox. (the movie fighter jet, not the web browser)
I wish someone would design a Firefox movie theme for the Firefox browser add-ons.
Glad I'm not the only one.

7:44 "Frakking toaster!"
I love the pure child-like joy that comes through in your voice when you talk about the designs you love, it's so infectious! This is my favourite sci-fi channel on RUclips by a country mile
Hahha love the VPN / BSG commercial! Hahha... so say we all! Frakkin cyberthreats!
I have to admit that seeing #2 revealed as THUNDERBIRD 2 made me smile, but #1 revealed as the SHIELD HELICARRIER made me go " Yes!" and punch the air with my fist. I'm 56 years old, and have been a flying capital ship fan since Cloudbase from Captain Scarlet, so after UNIT's VALIANT, SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW's flying base, and the original big-chin Helicarrier from the comics, seeing the MCU Helicarrier given its glory made the kid in me squee in glee.
Yeah, the SHIELD Helicarrier is nice, but UNIT's Valiant is equaly great !
It is better imo
Plus the Valiant has a mini Death Star weapon!
@@karlfranzemperorofmandefil5547 What is this Valiant you speak of?
@@BeyondDaX Doctor Who.
It's pretty much a Helicarrier Ripoff (The Helicarrier made its first appearance in 1965) but it's glorious.
Personally I prefer Cloudbase.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloudbase
My favorite SciFi Aircraft is Sky1 a submarine launched fighter jet from “UFO”.
The Shield Quinjet reminds me a lot of the Skyranger from XCOM Enemy Unknown
Damn right
As a 1960's child loved the thunderbirds, I once in the late 80's read them described as neo-primative, but still love them. I always loved as a teen the cover artwork of many a sci Fi paperback's spacecraft, great to see models of sci Fi stuff today.
Shield "The Bus" 616 really deserves an honorable mention. Their new aircraft, the Zephyr, is also amazing, but that original Bus... Idk, it was stated that those were popular in the 90s, and I was really hoping go see such a plane in the Captain Marvel movie, yet it didn't show up... Well, that's what I really call "Taking existing stuff and upgrading it up to 11". They made an airplane flying around the globe feel like a starship visiting different planets. And then... The turbofan Globemaster that also can VTOL... In some scenes you can see some blue glow in the turbofans, suggesting they've also added some hidden upgrades there. A similar plane is only seen in Spider Man Homecoming, with a slightly different design, but the idea was instantly recognizable.
On the topic of sci-fi aircraft, one thing I would really like to see you cover is the Super-Slyph from the book Yukikaze. It has an anime adaptation and a few model kits you could use for visuals.
But I want to see it in part because Yukikaze is one of the very few military sci-fi franchises that focuses almost exclusively on air-power instead of space navies or ground-pounders, and the detail reflects that. It's also pretty clear while reading it that it had a huge impact on a lot of later sci-fi authors in Japan the way that Starship Troopers had a huge impact on a lot of sci-fi authors in the west. Another thing to recommend it as an interesting subject for analysis is that it is not, primarily, a combat plane (though it is capable of it) but a recon aircraft built to record an analyze flight and combat data, with an artificial intelligence designed to learn from that (and gets smarter every time it does.)
I'm sorry but the ad for Nord VPN in the middle...
is one of the best ad reads I've heard in a LONG time. It just fits so excellently into this channel. It's hilarious, and an absolutely great way to do an ad read. I normally skip through them, but I listened through the whole thing.
Thank you for making it entertaining.
This is the most creative ad I've seen in a while.
Best Product Placement ever!
You mentioned Thunderbirds... honourable mention to the Cloudbase from Captain Scarlet? The Angel Interceptors were pretty neat too.
Oh hell yes! The Angels were awesome!
@ What movie? There was no live action movie. You're crazy.
I am a bit disappointed by the lack of Ace Combat originals, but overall the list is agreeable.
The X-02 is a gorgeous thing.
I love the concept for the FALKEN too with the whole remote human pilot (I think it's called the Z.O.E system?)
Personally, I would have gone with the Halo 2 and Halo 3 style UNSC Pelicans. They seem to be some of the most beautiful and versatile aircraft in Sci-Fi.
@@LouseGrouse The Falken isn't really remotely operated. The original intent was to use it with the Zone of Endless/Z.O.E UCAV AI system, but that kind of fell by the wayside after the late 1990s. A manned version using the COnnection For In-Flight INterface/C.O.F.F.I.N. system was developed instead... The early versions of that system, including the Falken's are arguably no more advanced than the holographic HMDs used in the F-35 etc. IRL, but later variants would eventually also be used alongside a neural interface (ENSI). They still require an onboard pilot (or AI), though.
The LouseGrouse I personally prefer the CFA-44 Nosferatu
Unfortunately, Ace Combat is technically realistic fiction, even with the flying carriers with superweapons.
Just a headsup, the Insight-carriers used the same repulsor tech as the Iron Man armor.
PS: I agree, heli-carriers are just awesome! ^^
Thunderbird 2! Hell yeah. Used to have a little model TB2 as a kid. Loved that thing, so easy to imagine different rescue scenarios around the house that needed its intervention. Also funny to see my friend's kids playing with Thunderbirds too, really a testament to the show and the designs' lasting appeal across generations.
That promotion is one of the best examples of good advertising I have seen in a long time. Hits the target audience, is entertaining, and explains exactly why one needs it. I almost always skip those, but was glad I didn't this time. Well done!
8:45 TB2 has the best introduction in Thunderbirds Are Go, when it looms out of the clouds at the start of the first episode. Clearly the writers knew how popular TB2 was, as it's the first Thunderbird to appear in the new show.
One thing I like about Thunderbirds are Go is that the other thunderbirds get their time in the spotlight. I ESPECIALLY like Thunderbird Shadow
Thunderbirds 2 was an awesome craft! It was also the inspiration for a most important feature of the Eagle Transporter spacecraft in the live-action "Space: 1999" series; which was produced a few years later by the same creators, and sfx team.
Smaller than the Thunderbird, and made primarily for spaceflight (it was capable of atmospheric flight if required), the Eagle could also swap mid-ship modules depending on the specific demands of a mission. It was a beautiful ship that was, in essence, a flying utility truck with multiple pods to choose from. The main reason I loved it is that it looked as realistic as anything NASA was thinking of at the time. As a kid, I remember painting the nose of my Thunderbird replica to look like the Eagle! lol
Best part of the whole video (and it was a good vid, the fact that the heli-carrier wins, and all the reasons why, best being 12 year old satisfaction, is great), is the ad, and the disclaimer at the end... just love it.
Would have loved to see you cover the ADF-01 falken from ace combat. It’s one hell of a cool aircraft
Would you consider doing a video about the GDI Kodiak from C&C Tiberium Sun?
YES, PLEASE!!
EA might have destroyed the Tiberiumverse and salted the grounds the studio was on, but Tiberian Sun, Wars and Twilight had lots of awesome war concepts.
So glad Agents of Shield got two lots of love in this video!
And normally I don't like product placements in videos, but damn, that Toaster Protection one is actually funny!
As a retired USN officer, I like that the heli-carrier carried the hull number 64, the same as the storied carrier USS CONSTELLATION (CV 64). And remember, Daniel, the angled flight deck was a British invention!
So glad Thunderbird 2 was on this list, absolutely love it as you said! Lives up to the 'one that actually does the job' even more in the new show, having gone to space and underwater!
Loving the Thunderbirds vehicles lately! You’re at least partially responsible for sending me on a nostalgia trip back to the ‘90s.
Should do some of the vehicles from Captain Scarlet next - always loved that show. The design was the most gloriously camp, ‘60s-future thing you’ve ever seen
8:31-8:42 That’s exactly why I love the Thunderbirds Are Go reboot, because Thunderbird One actually performs rescues itself without waiting for Thunderbird Two 😳😅
Ace Combat would like to say hello, Aigaion beats helicarrier.
But does it fly? Does it go into stealth? Does it have the proper firepower?
Has it had a Battlestar Galactica moment?
BeyondDaX That’s what the Gleipnir is for
@@Flyboy2100 What the flub is the Gleipnir?
BeyondDaX Ace Combat X’s Airborne Fortress. It has optical camouflage, can shrug off SAMs and can wipe entire fleets out with it’s Shock cannon.
Aww... I was hoping one of tilt-rotor craft from JC's Avatar made the list. I absolutely adore the SA-2 Sampson, AT-99 Scorpion and C-21 dragon from the movie and game.
Great video as always!
I think the Ace Combat series has a lot of very good sci-fi aircraft. The CFA-44 Nosferatu and the Aigaion and it’s aerial fleet are my favorites, but the X-02/S, Fenrir, and the ADF series are pretty cool as well.
Well, they're are a couple strategic advantages for having a helicarrier. I mean, imagine if you could bring a whole airport of fighter jets with you to any battle or bring basically a battleship to any battle you wanted to. Also, you would always have the high ground.
*mustafar flashbacks intensify*
Obi wan works for shield confirmed
You want to bring the fighter jets into battle but not the airport. A carrier should stay on the side line and send its fighters. If you send it into the battle you could replace all fighters with turrets. So - why are there no helidestroyers? Or helibattleships?
Ships are already huge Targets. Putting them into the air so everyone can see and shoot at them with a clear line of sight doesn't sound like a good Idea.
"Tylium sold separately!" Haha awesome.
OMG.. I totally LOVE how incorporated NORD into your show.. I'm sure they're legal team had a field day with it.. lol.. truly epic in my book!. I love what you did with what you had... :)
That was one of the best commercial interlude I have seen on RUclips.
Airwolf could shoot down every aircraft on the list during one play through of its theme song.
Also, while the movie was crap, I always liked the Talon fighters from "Stealth". I'd love to see that design show up in something else.
As long as Stringfellow or St. John were at the controls... Hawke UP!
Airwolf should be on if only for the theme song!
As well as the Talon fighters, the *Firefox* from the movie of the same name.
Stealth was brilliant but would have the EDI design over the Talon.
Airwolf was a supersonic, bulletproof, stealth helicopter. It was ridiculous and I loved it.
I would have like to see the VF-1 Valkyrie in this list. Sure, it can go into space, too, but it is primarily an atmospheric design.
One of my favorite sci-fi aircrafts is Skyranger from Firaxis's XCOM: Enemy Unknown/Enemy Within. Just a really iconic dropship design.
OMG, licence that ad to Sci-Fi and Space and all the the Science Fiction TV stations around the world! That needs to be in movie theaters and TV.
Nice to see the "Thunderbirds" (#2) are appreciated after all these years, I'm 63 and enjoyed it as a kid.
“Setup his picnic table”.
Bloody love it.
out of all the VPN ads that youtubers do, this one was the best!
My favorite on this list is the snowspeeder. When *Empire Strikes Back* came out I was a little kid in Alaska and I had a toy snowspeeder and it was a lotta fun in the snow!
Poor Dax.
I didn't know Thunderbirds had been remade as a CGI cartoon series? HOW did I miss that?
@@Feroce I prefer Drya, but that's me!
How about an honourable mention for the Angels on Captain Scarlett?
The hammerhead from space above and beyond! Has to be my favourite fighter!
By far the most creative in-video sponsorship promo I've ever seen.
I doff my cap at you for the nord vpn ad. That was a genius way of including an ad for a sponsor
Now thats how you make an Ad in a RUclips-Vid! Nice work, Daniel!
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow has some cool aircraft design too.
I thought the same thing when he mentioned the helicarrier
That sponsor part was smooth as hell
Eureka 7 had some cool concepts for aircraft, like Gekko and Izumo, which were not only giant airplane but also carriers for mechas. That was really cool concept and logical result of unusual atmosphere of their planet.
Nothing from Avatar? Those chopper things they had are super awesome.
This is probably the BEST ad i have EVER seen!
Great take on monetization, Daniel!
The line will be forever be stuck in my head every time I watch thunderbirds, TB1 Scott's picnic tables... classic
I’m a little surprised despite all the love for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. that there was no honourable mention for the Zephyr... although is it a spaceship now rather than an aircraft?! I really love the sleek design and how the Quinjets, once docked, almost nestle into the frame along the top. I really wish we’d see some of these designs get official merchandise released, the OG Quinjet especially. Great video, guys! 👍
Your number one spot is you just embracing your inner child completely and I love it. XD
200% AGREE!!
Please make full full episodes on the helicarrier and the Tunderbird 2!!!!
Best sponsor plug on a RUclips video ever.
Very cheeky on that commercial tie in, I loved it. Speaking of the Bus I'm surprised you didn't slot it in with the Quinjet since said Jet can slot into the Bus.
I was getting ready to skip the ad, but then it started playing, and holy shit. I love it. Best BSG reference ever

#1 The Shield Helicarrier.
UNITS flying aircraft carrier from Doctor Who, the *_Valiant:_* Am I nothing to you?
Had cloaking tech as well, oh and shields and the Jathaa sunglider laser. Designed by *the Master,* it would win.
It also had a paradox machine, so you could retcon reality. There's being a base of operations, then there's being the point that allows time to fight itself.
What does Dr. Who have to do with this? Its all about the phone booth
this ad... :D
Well done, well done!
A reaaly good video AND a creative ad! Nicely done!
Can we get an honorable mention for the entire Macross series? The part of it that isn't about music saving everything is awesome fighter planes saving everything. From the VF-0 in Macross Zero giving us that pure porn shot of the jet-battroid transformation in slow motion, to the All That VF airshow before the release of Macross Frontier showing off every VF to that point, and so much more.
That was legit the best ad I have seen in a youtube channel, great job!
@Spacedock actually the USAF actually looked into and even designed a flying aircraft carrier.
It is not a new concept either, you can trace the idea back to WW2 were it was experimented with parasite fighters which were aircraft being carried by bombers or gliders.
The idea was to have them detach after arrival at their mission area
Not gonna lie, this was the most enjoyable mid-video ad I've ever seen.
That Thunderbirds intro got me pissing myself laughing! YESS SPACEDOCK!!!
I think you should have added the Tie Striker from Star Wars.
Kind of surprised the F-302 from Stargate wasn't included at first, but, it's not strictly an aeroplane since it has a hyperdrive and is based mostly on BC-304s in space.
Man, I love that you're bringing the Thunderbirds back in recent videos, I grew up watching the old marionnette programme and loved it (we're just going to ignore the live action film from the early 2000's), it's a shame more young people don't look into it cause it's "old".
You know I got upset when you didn't put the hammer head in from space: above and beyond. Then I remembered it was a multi roll space and planetary fighter. Great list
I don't think I have ever agree more with a list video.
When the heli carrier comes back in ultron it literally brought tears of of joy to my eyes.
Fun fact the guy organizing the evac barges in that scene is the SHIELD tech from winter soldier who refused obey thee STRIKE team leader when threatened to shoot him which delayed the launch of the evil heli carriers
The only time I've ever not just skipped through the paid content. Very amusing. Excellent work as always.
Best commercial break adaptation on RUclips! Loved it! ;-)
Wish more channels would do that...
#1 came out as a surprise but i couldn't agree more. This thing is way beyond cool.
The video was good as usual, however that sponsored segment was OTT and very well thought out.
I always noticed the number 64 on the helicarrier's hull. It makes me think that she is a rebuilt and refitted version of the then recently decommissioned USS Constellation (CV-64). Probably not really, but that's my bit of fanon in the MCU.
I think in Star Trek that may count as a minor refit. And in Back to The Future's 2015 they have no problem doing that with cars.
I'll be honest, I raised an eyebrow when you announced the Helicarrier, but once you explained it... Well, I still can't whip the grin off my face, IT JUST SO COOL!
I'm calling it now, one of these will be the Republic Gunship!
@@Jedi_Spartan most weren't actually designed for vacuum.
'Captain Scarlet', I believe, had a helicarrier with some bad-ass jets. Loved that show as a kid. 🤓
None of the planes from Ace Combat?! FOR SHAME! CFA-44 Nosferatu. For one of the most badass planes out there.
or the P-1112 Aigaion Heavy Command Cruiser, 'cause who doesn't love having a massive flying aircraft carrier that can deny the enemy viable airspace via cruise missile bombardment
I watched your Nord commercial 3 times, Absolutely the best ever! a great addition to your already fantastic channel
