Tilt-Rotor craft with retractable landing gear and minfig pilot.
With this project I am attempting to make a 'kid-friendly' model - sturdy and still totally swooshable.
It is still a WIP, any advice is welcome!
Compressor rotors and inlet guide vane (IGV) housings from Westinghouse J34 turbojet engines.
These parts were probably removed from J34s that were once installed on Lockheed P2V / P-2 Neptune maritime patrol aircraft. Minden Air used to operate P2V / P-2 fire-fighting air tankers, such as Tanker 55:

I was building Mi 171-Sh and this is the best I came up with for a rigid 5-blade rotor. Unfortunately it was too big for the scale of the helicopter so I went with a simple 4-blade rotor instead.
The model was built for my friend as a birthday gift and I didn't have time to photograph it.
Taken with Canon AE-1 analog camera. Fujichrome Velvia 100F slide film (16 years expired). Only my second time developing a slide film in regular E6 in quite some time. I like how the combination with the 1970s camera gives the shots somewhat of a '70s feel.
No post-editing. Positive scanned with Epson Perfection V500 Photo, cropped and downsized for the web.

Rotor is a hulking Villain with huge propellers on his back, a loose cannon that is only kept in check by his parter in crime, Xplode.
Thank Bruh_0nicles for the propeller design.

The BAT-Rotor is the ideal choice for tight urban pacification missions.
Larger, but slower than the BAT-Wing, faster than the Bat-chopper, the BAT-Rotor is Batman's most heavily armoured aircraft and allows Batman to infiltrate and exfiltrate with ease.
Armed with Rubber Bullets (I swear), Bat-Gas and Bat-Nets the BAT-Rotor acts as a weapons platform either to punch a hole in heavy resistance or to back up Batman in autonomous flight mode.
The Tilt Rotors rotates roughly 60 degrees. 15 back, 45 forward.

of course Maison Blinovitch is also a TARDIS and would have one of these somewhere to manage any journeys.
in true classic who fashion, i made it out of housewares: 2 vases, silicone case from a water bottle, some shelf liner, 2 jar lids, 2 LED lights, and one figure stand.

These two criminals roam together wreaking havoc everywhere they go, Xplode is the brains with brawn, while Rotor is the brawn with... no brain.
Thank Bruh_0nicles for the propeller design.
Sylvan Beach has an old fashioned Rotor, a nearly extinct ride. Unfortunately it was not operating on our visit.
Marines with Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 266 (Reinforced), 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit prepare to dismount a rotor of an MV-22 Osprey on the flight deck of the USS Kearsarge (LHD 3), at sea, May 4, 2013. The 26th MEU is deployed to the 5th Fleet area of operations aboard the Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group. The 26th MEU operates continuously across the globe, providing the president and unified combatant commanders with a forward-deployed, sea-based quick reaction force. The MEU is a Marine Air-Ground Task Force capable of conducting amphibious operations, crisis response and limited contingency operations.

I'm back from holidays and I re-started to model parts for the Helicarrier. Here is one of the 4 rotors rendered in Blender.
Part of the windfarm near Kilmuckridge in Co. Wexford. I'm not sure if the photo gives the true scale of the size of these things, They're massive! See the trees for scale. When the tip of the rotor is at its highest point of rotation, the overall structure has a height of approximately 100 metres (330 ft).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From wikipedia:
The windfarm commenced operation in 2005 and has a capacity of 42 MW and consists of 21 gearless E-70 E4 Enercon wind turbines. It is clearly visible from the R742 regional road. Some of the windmills are within a couple of hundred metres of it.
The produced energy in one year is 110 GWh. This equals the yearly consumption of 125,000 people or 31,500 four person households. Within 3.7 months of operation the wind energy converters (WEC) at this site had produced an amount of energy equivalent to that used in their construction and installation, including production of the materials. For the next 20 years the wind farm will be producing electricity without using any resources and without pollution.
The E-70 turbines have rotor diameters of 71 m, so the swept area is 3,959 m². The nacelle, in the hub height of 64 m, is assessable through a ladder within the tower, which is 4.2 m in diameter at the base and 2.9 m at top. The nacelle itself has a diameter of 5m, the height of a two storey building. The turbine rotor spins with a speed between 6 and 21.5 rpm and the rotor hub is directly coupled to the synchronous generator without a gear box for transmission. The turbine switches in at a wind speed of about 2.3 m/s. It reaches its nominal output at a speed of 12.5 m/s, where the pitch system of the rotor blades starts to limit the electrical power output automatically. Above wind speeds of 25 m/s the power output is gradually reduced again until the turbine switches off for protection at about 34 m/s.
The electricity is generated at voltages of around 400 V and up to 2,300 As, and at variable frequency proportional to the variable speed of the rotor. All produced energy is converted into direct current (DC) by a rectifier inside the nacelle and conducted to the inverters located in the bottom of the turbine tower. The inverters modulate the DC into alternating current (AC) with 50 Hz grid-compliant frequency. Each turbine has a transformer inside the tower which transforms the voltage to the 20 kV internal grid voltage of the wind farm. At the tail station, a wind farm transformer increases the voltage to 110,000 V and it is fed into the ESB (national power company) network through 21 km underground cables.
The coastal location is close to Cahore Point on the Irish Sea.
