A helicarrier is an airborne aircraft carrier used by SHIELD as a mobile command center.
SHIELD Helicarrier Specifications
- A SHIELD helicarrier appears to be at least as large as a US Navy Nimitz-class carrier.
- The ship is lifted by four turbines that are at least ten meters across.
- Power for the ship isn't specified, but it presumably comes from a large nuclear power plant.
- The carrier has a full air wing, including modern jet fighters with VTOL capabilities.
- Reflectors on the ventral hull allow the carrier to camouflage itself from ground observers.
Doctor Who Helicarrier
The Master designed a helicarrier, the HMS Valiant, for UNIT while he was living on Earth as "Harold Saxon". It was later destroyed during a Dalek invasion.
