Can the Helicarrier be built?
It isn’t possible to build anything like the SHIELD Helicarrier with modern technology because whatever the SHIELD helicarrier uses for power is far more efficient than ANY technology we use for power today by an order of magnitude.

How much does a shield Helicarrier weigh?
Wikipedia lists the length at 333 meters with a mass of about 108 kg.
How fast is the Shield Helicarrier?
If you just make some estimates for the mass of the helicarrier and rotor size, you can get both the thrust speed (640 m/s) and the power required (3 x 1011 watts).
Who built Quinjet?
The Quinjet was actually created by Black Panther in the comics, with the jet earning its name from the 5 jet thrusters that power it. Since every superhero team needs a really cool, special vehicle to travel in the Quinjet made its MCU debut in Joss Whedon’s The Avengers in 2012.
The Navy has experimented with less-ambitious flying aircraft carriers in the 1930s — its rigid airships such as the USS Macon and USS Akron could each carry up to five biplane fighter aircraft. But the modern military’s budget would likely burst trying to build and operate a full-size flying…
How much power would it take to run a Helicarrier?
Obviously, the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier has a better power source. I would guess it would have to be at least around 2 x 10 9 Watts in order to operate. You don’t want to use your maximum power just to sit still.
What do the a and V mean on a Helicarrier?
As a reminder, the A is the area of the air that is pushed down – which would be the size of the rotors and v is the speed that the rotors push the air. This helicarrier clearly isn’t a Nimitz Class Carrier – but something else. However, it seems to be a good guess that they are the same size. Here is a comparison with a Nimitz class carrier.
How does the Helicarrier stay in the air?
The helicarrier stays in the air just from the rotors. It doesn’t float like a lighter than air aircraft. I think this assumption does along with the movie since they show it sitting in water floating like a normal aircraft carrier.
