Similarly, it is asked, why is the Quinjet called the Quinjet?
In the comics, the Quinjet was originally an Avengers-exclusive vehicle designed by Black Panther. It got his name from the 5 jet thrusters that gave it propulsion.
Secondly, can Quinjet fly? Turbojets or turbofan jets cannot work in space due to the vacuum, so the instances of the quinjet being used in space are totally unrealistic. Some real jets, the SR-71 for example fly high enough that the pilots should wear pressure suits, and usually do, but it is still inside the earth's atmosphere.
Similarly one may ask, what happened to the bus agents of shield?
The Bus was destroyed by a pair of missiles as Phil Coulson and the former members of his team was on approach to the Arctic HYDRA Research Facility, where Lincoln Campbell and Michael Peterson were being held. They managed to escape the destruction in the Quinjet and carried on with the assault on the base.
Who built the Quinjet?
The quinjet first appeared in The Avengers #61 (February 1969) and was designed by the Wakanda Design Group, headed by the Black Panther, T'Challa. Each one is equipped with VTOL capability and five turbojet engines.
