Helicarrier

A helicarrier is an airborne aircraft carrier used by SHIELD as a mobile command center.

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 for UNIT while he was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. It was later destroyed during a Dalek invasion.
