Why the Avengers’ Helicarrier Is Horribly Designed (rescale.com)

As an aviation geek I had the same thought when I first saw the Helicarrier. Fun to see someone did some CFD analysis on this.

All this is cool analysis, but does anything other than equally fictional Quinjets actually land on it? They probably only need any runway at all when they're too heavily loaded for a complete vertical takeoff.
