Helicarrier
Airborne military base
A helicarrier is a fictional flying aircraft carrier, most prominently featured in Marvel Comics as the mobile headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The vessel combines the flight capabilities of a helicopter or hovercraft with the scale and function of a naval carrier, allowing it to deploy aircraft while remaining airborne.
The concept has become iconic in superhero media: The helicarrier hovered above the city as agents scrambled jets.
