  • Be Honest, did you know The USS Voyager had the Aero Shuttle? This video will keep you entertained if you did or didn't!
    The Aero Shuttle, a very poorly understood multimission auxiliary vessel based around the Danube-class Runabout hull, was integrated into the Intrepid-class design in 2368, just as the USS Danube completed its flight trials. Unlike Runabouts, Aero Shuttles did not receive unique class status or commissioned names.

    I just assumed Paris cannibalised the parts from the Aero Shuttle and put it into the Delta Flyer instead of entirely from scratch. All the benefits of a new shuttle, without the decrease in ship stability the Aero Shuttle being used normally would have done with that hole as stated.

    I've just thought of something that could, in canon, be a good way to do captains yachts and similar, like this, that would be interesting.
    The section that said thing has could have the area be shaped like said thing. But, and here is the thing that could change it somewhat, the section flips on an axis, making the ship go from inside to outside. Which could keep what becomes a hole intact, and be a cool effect. This is on the simple premise there is no actual up in space.

  • @mammutMK2
    @mammutMK2 3 місяці тому +2

    From car construction when you get a sunroof, the removed metal needs to get added around the opening...so actually the roof with the sunroof is structurally stronger.
    Going with the same concept into the AS docking bay, I assume that the room/opening/hole has the same structural ratings as the hull and Shooting into the opening would have the same effect as shooting at the hull.
    Now it gets interesting.... since when docked and no one wants to have a weak spot that can cause a massive explosion (maybe they fill it up when getting ready to leave) and it should not get disabled by a single hit, I would guess the underside is massively armored to a grade to get it comparable to the hull. That would make even more sense when thinking about the concept of in atmosphere operations and landing...having an armored underside with engines sitting on top.
    Shooting at the aero shuttle when docked would be shooting at the strongest part of the ship...just use it as reactive armor when a torpedo closes in.
    I would say the aero shuttle was never docked into Voyager, it was just a blank cover. When AS was still not completed and maybe in the testing phase, why dock it into Voyager...makes more sense to keep it at the space dock and just cover the hole.
    That would be literally like picking up your new car, the dealer tells you that the second set of wheels is not ready yet, but they just threw the rims and tires in the trunk and you can bring them back...makes no sense.
    Just hail Voyager that she shuttle is ready and swing by to pick it up...since it won't complete itself when sitting in the hull

  • @FizzleFX
    @FizzleFX 3 місяці тому +2

    11:05 I think the lower hull *is just a cover/ spaceholder* and the shuttle itself, as you said, wasn't ready yet OR they lend it out for a longer perioid and couldn't get replacement in time.
    tldr: it happens. people forget their spare tire.

  • @scottbraun2457

    I always liked the idea of the "Captain's YACHTS" ..BUT...their utility capacity..was sorely lacking in most shows. However..this was dramatically different in VOYAGER'S run..where I think at least half the time, it's utility functionality could have been a regular thing. However...Tom's special project, the FLYER.. was was what we got..and fell in love with..although..I always wanted to see the..unloved b6 Tuvok..more "hotrod" looking version put into production a little later.

    • @LRK-GT
      @LRK-GT Місяць тому

      Considering the Delta Flyer's late-run appearance
      -I can't help but 'meta-canon' that the expected 'plot device functionality' of the Cpt's Yacht/AeroShuttle was 'belayed' and integrated into the Delta Flyer plot device.
      (IIRC, this kind of "Belay that idea; it's not a bad idea but, not right now" being later wrapped-back-into the screenplays, was fairly common in 90s Trek.)

  • @MrTechnin
    @MrTechnin 3 місяці тому +3

    So they had the resources to build the delta flyer TWICE but couldn't finish/upgrade the aero shuttle? All they'd really need to do to give it hot-rod status is paint it with racing stripes, which are scientifically proven to make things go faster.

    In-universe, one could also suppose that the crew members who built Voyager’s Delta Flyer got some of the necessary parts, by cannibalising the Aeroshuttle. If it wasn’t complete, it might as well still have some use, amirite?! 🤷🏼

  • @LRK-GT
    @LRK-GT Місяць тому +1

    10:46 as 'slapstick' it could've come-off as, It'd've been 100% w/in Paris' character to 'overwhelm himself with projects'.
    In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that *was* a part of the 1st-drafts scripts, and the romance w/ Torres would've interrupted his completion of the AeroShuttle.
    At the least, that'd've made Paris a HIGHLY relatable character. Perhaps, it was dropped for being a little too real? 😂
    (That, and it'd make Voyager seem like a Light Carrier and take away from the attempts at conveying 'scarcity' to the Audience.)

  • @AM-dc7pv
    @AM-dc7pv 3 місяці тому +2

    Just my opinion but....1. If it remained the under the control of the Mighty Ducks, it wouldn't be the Duck Mobile or anything but would be christened as the "Quantum Quack" or possibly "Aero McQuackers". 2. It wouldn't have a signature "quack" sound but it would fly with a continuous stream of "quacks" and pitch would increase in correlation with speed. 3. Any torpedo fire would instead have the signature "'quack" and phaser fire would have the signature stream of "quacks", use of the transporter would incur a single but long tapered signature "quack".

  • @vortega472
    @vortega472 3 місяці тому +1

    My guess in every episode it would be used you would have to have new exterior shots of Voyager with a gap at the bottom of the saucer section. For continuity sake I'm thinking the show runners and model/CGI people just didn't want to deal with it.
    Maybe if there was a sliding hatch that pops out of it might have been the "Delta Flyer" instead.

      While Voyager has some major issues with conveying 'scarcity' in the Delta Quadrant...
      that particular plot hole does get 'covered' in facilitating the Delta Flyer.
      NtM, it's been heavily-implied that since the screen-introduction of Replicator Technology in TNG, that there have been 'large part replicators' on-board long-range vessels.
      (How else would the Enterprise-D've replaced large and complex components w/o returning to spacedock?)
