Future Copter: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

You're in an unspecified future, and you need an aircraft capable of short or vertical takeoffs. Helicopters are ''so'' 20th century: they can't do all that fancy supercruising and barrel rolls that jets can do and they (probably) can't survive being dropped from orbit because well, hey, you might just need to be dropped from orbit.

 

{{examples}}

* The JSSDF VTOLs from ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' have tilting jet engines.

* Vehicles like this are seen in the first episode of ''[[Bubblegum Crisis]]''
