History[]
Used primarily by the Avengers for transportation to various locations, the quinjet is first designed by the Wakanda Design Group, headed by Black Panther, T'Challa. Each one is equipped with VTOL capability and turbojet engines. A quinjet can reach Mach 2.1. Two highly specialized ultra-large Quinjets were used to transport various superheros through space during the Infinity Crusade.
A surplus quinjet ("the Champjet") was used by the Champions of Los Angeles during their brief tenure.
When the New Avengers were formed, Iron Man revealed that he had three new-model Quinjets that had been in beta testing when the Avengers disbanded. One was destroyed on their first outing to the Savage Land. These Quinjets used a 2x2 symmetrically-mounted modified Pratt & Whitney J48-P-8A Turbojet engines.
During the period after the first Civil War, the Quinjets remained at the disposal of the official public teams, including the Mighty Avengers and the Dark Avengers.[4] With the reunification of the Avengers teams following the Siege of Asgard, the Quinjets are once again the primary transportation for all of the Avengers teams.
