A quinjet is a fictional vehicle appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Publication history

The quinjet first appeared in The Avengers #61 (February 1969).

Description

The quinjet is used primarily by the Avengers.

The quinjet was first designed by the Wakanda Design Group, headed by the Black Panther, T'Challa. Each one is equipped with VTOL capability and five turbojet engines. Two highly specialized ultra-large Quinjets were used to transport various superheroes through space in the Infinity Crusade mini-series.

In other media

Television

Quinjets have made appearances in the animated series Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes by Disney XD.[citation needed] A larger, stylized Quinjet-like aircraft known as the Avenjet appears in the subsequent series Avengers Assemble, as the Avengers' personal transport vehicle.[citation needed]

In the ABC series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., agent Coulson's team steals a quinjet from the U.S. Marines, which becomes one of the teams' primary vehicles. [1]

Film

The Quinjet appeared in The Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as an aircraft carrier-compatible VTOL utility aircraft used primarily by S.H.I.E.L.D..[citation needed] A larger version appears in Avengers: Age of Ultron and Captain America: Civil War as an aircraft for the Avengers.[citation needed]. The Quinjet from Avengers: Age of Ultron appears again in Thor: Ragnarok having brought the Hulk to the planet Sakaar.[2]
