Fictional Aircraft from Movies, Games, etc.

[Triton]

Futuristic helicopter from the Russian urban fantasy/horror film Temnyy Mir (Dark World) (2010).

 

[covert_shores]

Hindelix?

 

[Grey Havoc]

A pre-emptive entry; The RQH-60M HELODRONE. Essentially an A.I. piloted Black Hawk helicopter used for inserting and extracting special forces.

From the computer game Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, set in an alternate post-apocalyptic 2007.

Hindelix?

Kamind? Hinov?

Don't forget the odd birds seen in Caprica.

Two of these images came from this blog. http://scifiendvrs.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-problem-with-bsg-aircraft-vipers.html

One more to add, then I'll see what others come up with for this thread. A twin engine fighter from the Ace Combat game - the engines are stacked as with the E.E. Lightning but staggered with the lower engine a little more forward than the upper engine.

 

[DanCooper]

Don´t forget the movie stealth

with the F/-A 37 Talon and EDI

 

[Grey Havoc]

From the alternate history anime Konpeki no Kantai, a fictional seaplane version of the Ki-45 Toryu, the Raiyo.

[Grey Havoc]

AH88-J2 Kai Grey Ghost from the recent The Next Generation Patlabor: Shuto Kessen movie.

As you can see, despite it's designation, it's a totally different design from the Hellhound (the Next Generation series & movie is set in a different timeline from the various original anime incarnations; in this timeline the Babylon project was a failure and as a result Japan is still (2013AD at the opening of the series) in the midst of a bubble recession, with labors having become scarce due to this and other factors).

How does one find this movie?

It was released in Japan in May, I don't know when it will get an official english subbing and global release unfortunately.


EDIT: Here's a couple of trailers for it;

Love the naval Toryu on floats!!

Ferris Aircraft YF-32 from Green Lantern

The pics don't do this one justice. It's absolutely beautiful in the movie (a sadly underrated one, by the way, one of the most faithful comic book adaptations I've seen).

[Graham1973]

DC-10 with a modified tailplane (Not to dissimilar from the one on the Shuttle carrying 747s) from an unauthorised Chinese Star Wars adaptation.

 

[Grey Havoc]

P-1117 Kingfisher VTOL used primarily by the Royal Air Force and the British Army in the Resistance: Fall of Man games universe, set in an alternate late 20th Century (primary PODs include there being no Spanish-American War, a Tunguska Event with rather a different outcome and a pretty different Great War and aftermath). Incidentally the design is derived from work originally done on VTOL aircraft for the American government in this alternate timeline carried out by none other than a certain Nikola Tesla.

P-1117 Kingfisher

The P-1117 Kingfisher is a VTOL aircraft used by the British Army. The P-1117 Kingfisher was made by the United States Armed Forces that was derived from an early iteration of the U/AV-17 Hawk and its design was exclusively sold to the United European Defence.[1] By the time of the Chimeran War...

Via the Russian version of the Far Cry wiki:

 

[X-39]

1- Hovercraft featured in The Hunger Games, Catching Fire and The Hunger Games, Mockingjay.
These come in two variants, the high tech ones from the Capitol, and a reverse engineered version used by District 13 rebels, only with ducted fans replacing the blueish power source. Armaments include dumb bombs and bunker buster bombs,

2- Fort Zancudo UFO from GTA V(Grand Theft Auto V).
A manmade lenticular UFO, with resemblances of the VZ-9 Avrocar, B-2 Spirit and F-117 Nighthawk. With several eyeball cameras at the ,and two counterrotating turbines help it stay airbone, meaning is no true antigravity vehicle. Funnily enough, there is a roughly modeled cockpit interior that got scrapped.

3- X-49 Night Raven in Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere

The X-49 Night Raven (X-49 ナイトレーベン) was an experimental demonstrator aircraft created by General Resource.

"An aircraft which had been undergoing research and development by General Resource in the past. Due to the complexity of the unique design and changes in governmental state of affairs, research was halted, and it was believed the experimental craft was destroyed.Detailed data is highly classified, and detailed performance figures of the craft are shrouded in mystery." ― Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere - Namco Official Guide Book

Despite it's wacky appearance, when compared to real configuration studies like the Busemann Biplane, the idea of a near Hypersonic unconventional fighter like this doesn't seem too crazy anymore:

"... and so we built a master and made a set of tooling and pulled several fuselages from that, including some very very thin ones that ended up being flown, with RC controls", says a gentleman in that video.

No word in this clip whether any footage of those flights ended up in the movie. Sort of impressive they got something flyable in that day and age out of that; probably some bulky analog radio stuff and a shape better suited for flights of fancy than real, stable aerodynamics.

Halo's Longsword fighter. 64 meters long and 75 meters wide, its the size of a small frigate armed with a 110mm rotary cannon and nuclear missiles.

H.A.R.P. (High-Altitude Reconnaissance Plane)from Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Allegedly based on the SR-91 Aurora, but to me looks like a crossbreed between an SR-71 Blackbird and early 70s Stealth attempts like Teledyne Ryan's Model 268.

H.A.R.P.

For a similar scorestreaks, see Orbital VSAT and H.A.T.R.. For a similar killstreak, see SR-71 Blackbird. "High-Altitude Reconnaissance Plane that shows both enemy position and direction on the mini-map." — In-game description. The H.A.R.P. (High-Altitude Reconnaissance Plane) is a Scorestreak...

with the F/-A 37 Talon and EDI

According to some trailers and teasers, the F/A-37 Talon will reintroduce its role in the upcoming computer game "Call of Duty: Black Ops 6", which will be released next Friday, October 25th, 2024.
Edit: Sorry, I was wrong. The fictional stealth aircraft, featured in the computer game, is more like a F-117.
