Could we actually build an airborne aircraft carrier like the one we see in the Marvel movies?

You did hit something other good, to have a drone helicarrier, that had stealth would give whatever country can come up with it a very big edge,, but to defend this helicarrier, the only thing that I can think that would actually work would be lasers, and to be fair the power system for this would have to be nuclear, and I would have to fly, above the range of a blackbird.
Aircraft carriers+helicopter=helicarrier😐
I’m quite sure that we don’t have the materials tech required for the lifting fans. The electro/mechanical/hydraulic tech we may have, but we just don’t anything to make it out of. And the power required to lift it? Not gonna happen.
Electro gravidic mass reduction tech like the b2 reduced to 7 grams of mass, fucker goes forever
Humans can by using the alien technology from Lockheed Skunk Works created for the TR-3B aircraft by Electromagnetic Propulsion!!!😊😊😊
Just starting the video. I'm going to say "No" because it would take an obscene amount of energy to keep 100 000 tonnes of steel in the air. That's the unrealistic part of it all.
A well done description of why helicarriers are not yet possible!
The Chinese can. Americans can only build software these days.
I started the video. Skipped to the last minute. Got my answer and said, "Yeah i'd say its fiction too"
May've missed, yet it seems you didn't cover one important aspect. How the hell will we power that giant flying monstrosity? We'll probably need several gigawatts to spin those rotors.
Oh, and it'll be perfect target for any modern AA defense. 2-3 Patriot PAC3 missiles and those several billion dollars crash into ground right where they are.
Do you think if we redesign a helicarrier, we can build one economically
What you are saying is The Prydwin is a better carrier.
No!
Let's see now. There was "CloudBase", see "Captain Scarlet & The Mysterons". Later called "SkyBse" in the CGI reboot. Then there's he Royal Navy flying aircraft carrier from "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow". And if you search back through books and magazines from the 20s, 30s and 40s, I'm sure there were versions of something similar back then. I know the idea of a mid-atlantic artificial island/airport/shipyard was popular. Could you build one with current technology? Mmmmm …. no. The materials would have to be incredible strong and incredible light, plus you'd need a power source that also incredibly light and can supply a HUGE amount of power.
What’s the point of runways if your aircraft are vertical takeoff, that’s taking backwards compatibility way too far. I’m kinda burned out on Marvel, and the others. There’s so many good sci-fi books 📚 and we have the movie making technology now! It’s sad that very few movies stay true to the story and respect viewing public.
I have a different question: can we build a 700m x 300m x 100m landship with our current technology?
I would imagine something similar to a B-21 Raider with the capabilities of an EA-18G Growler, but instead of dropping bombs, it would be dropping, and supporting, drones.
I'd love to hear your thoughts about Cloudbase from Captain Scarlet – is it different from aircraft carrier from Marvel and if so, is it more or less plausible?
Sure we can, we just need to hire Iron M…i mean, Elon Musk!!
Perfect the anti gravity tech. Problem solved.
no but we can make something cooler Lockheed CL-1201 look it up
I disagree that the rotors are like helicopters. I think they are ducted engines.
Lockheed CL-1201 should have been built fr
It doesnt seem like a good idea. A crashed one would be a destroyed military base. Lots of people and equipment
Yes. Just not with the current budget
Aircraft can't fly for long distances, so lets make a giant aircraft fly long distances to carry them.
So the Arsenal Bird from ace combat 7 is more likely to be made then the Helicarrier
6:00 the fourth rotor is only there for redundancy and can be turned off for takeoff and landing.
ITS BEEN 4 YEARS IM SURE WE'VE FIGURED THIS OUT BY NOW.
RIGHT?
Let's talk about power. Having a one or more nuclear reactors would conceivably be required. But that is something that would never be approved.
They might be able to do it if the inside was made of those paper thin walls of Japanese houses.
There are drone carriers in Ukraine right now.
Why would we want to?
Flying makes it even more vulnerable than a sea going carrier.
If one were built, enemy nations would build large enough anti aircraft weapons to shoot them down.
Remember, in the past, nations have built nukes about the same size as a football, which would obliterate a helicarrier.
Cool looking, but in reality it would be a horrible idea.
it will depend on how high they will be flying
If web use and modyfy an an225 to’ become a flyng machine ??
Short answer… Yes. Long answer… No. Because we have all the technology necessary locked up in area 51 but those in charge will never make it available for us to witness. Just remember, they have been calling us crazy since the 1950s for even suggesting they have recovered that technology.
A big target for enemies to shoot at, and an even bigger waste of money.
we could but it would cost about a trillion dollars.
Solution: perfect gravity bubble technology.
there was actually a pretty successful flying aircraft carrier design that flew on a few missions during ww2 is was the Soviet zveno project
Do you even have to ask?
