If Equestria's Royal Guard somehow began developing aircraft,

>>27989609
They already have helicopters. And in GoH, the wonder bolts use some sort of jet pack for more speed.

>>27989609
Hot air balloons.
Oh wait...

>>27989617
Excuse me, for I haven't seen an episode in a while. When did they get helicopters?

>>27989622
>>27989630
This is how we know fags don't even watch the old episodes.
In Griffon the bush off, Pinkie already used a helicopter impulsed by her own legs.

>>27989641
You are beyond saving. Griffon the brush off is from season 1. I think it is the 4th episode of the whole show.

>>27989653
Well, guess what; you're getting hit with the "not remembering every little detail' excuse, because I watched season 1 like 4 entire human years ago.

>>27989681
Fine, I checked it and it is the fifth episode.

Still, not a new episode.

>>27989609
Aren't planes canon in the show?

>>27989689
I checked earlier, just didn't mention I did.

>>27989700
Well, it's well known that jet engines exist because the Wonderbolts used them in little packs, as someone else in the thread mentioned, but as of an actual fixed wing aircraft; no clue.

Nah, you're all wrong. It was in an episode after twily got her wings and she was flying and a helicopter passed her.
Found an image

Yes the one you posted is a proper helicopter, but Pinkie already flied using this thing way earlier.

>>27989751
Fuck, wrong pic.

>>27989725
I think I recall seeing a pony at one point in an earlier episode with a jet as a cutie mark though I'm not positive on the fact they exist as actual forms of transport.

>>27989755
There was also a pony with a hazard suit.
Nuclear energy was found and used way after flight.

>>27989754
I knew about that already but I kinda ruled that out since it doesn't look like a real helicopter and doesn't seem to be air force strong. My pic has a helicopter that is like, a real helicopter.

>>27989761
Whatever. If that thing can fucking fly, then that means that an actual helicopter is just for fast comfortable trips. And probably for the very rich, or only for urgent matters since Twilight used to fly using balloons.

>>27989761
OP here, agreeing with this guy. We knew about that thing, but I wanna know about the REAL JUICY choppers. What kinda shit would the Equestrian Guard build if they wanted to have things other than pegasi and chariots?

>>27989766
will refer you to this: >>27989770

>>27989609
Zeppelins and airships

>>27989770
Well fuel may be scarce.
Otherwise, there is no explanation of why machinery is not more common in the show. Why don't they have electricity either if they have motors and fuel? I guess that's a discussion for another thread though. Unless the helicopter works with magic, which would explain why it would be restricted, hard to provide it enough "fuel".

>>27989757
Nuclear facility meltdown episode when?

>>27989782
At the rate they are running out of ideas, soon enough.
However still no beach episode.

>>27989780
I thought they had electricity... I swear I remember seeing a TV or a lamp in an episode a while ago, or maybe I'm just high. If fuel is so scarce, Equestria needs to start being the US and invade Yakistan or Saddle Arabia for their oil.

>>27989787
the day we get an episode of pretty ponies in bikinis playing on the beach is the day MLP is officially no longer a 'little girl' show.

>>27989787
Nah. When a civilization has access to easy magic, it greatly suppresses scientific research. That's why Equestria is old but still has shit tech and if there is any strange tech, it's made by earth and pegusus ponies.
>>27989794

Bitches can't keep on topic.

>>27989807
Magic can only make up for so much, though. Actual powered aircraft can do much more than a Unicorn in terms of logistical capacity since standard Unicorns can really only move stuff to places they can see; and they can't move large volumes of things or ponies at one time.

>>27989800
Aww, why? Are bikinis to revealing for you? THEY ARE NAKED FAGGOT. In EQG, they have a lake in the forth so we may have some bikini scenes. But that may be to much skin for a Muslim like you.

>>27989816
So you want this to get 404ed with no replies? I was just making convo to see if somebody else posted what OP wanted.
But ok, let it get deleted.

He is right thought. They even mentioned this in The best night ever.
>Why he can't see us, we aren't ready

Maybe instead of using an internal combustion engine, steam engine, or hoof power, the helicopter would use like... a Unicorn engine. There would be one Unicorn standing somewhere inside the helicopter using his/her magic to quickly turn a drive shaft that lead to the rotor.

>>27989824
Sharia law in Equestria, now that's something I'd pay to watch.

>>27989848
That would be extremely inefficient.
Also the helicopter posted in here >>27989728
Has too little space for a whole unicorn to be inside of it, unless it is a baby.

>>27989824
And I think they have already used them in some occasion.

>>27989853
Simple fix; the helicopter would be larger like in the pic I posted. We're talking about the Equestrian Guard using these, they're not gonna faff about with some single seat shitchoppers.

>>27989848
Hmm. I think something similar might be more reasonable. Perhaps a pilot would use their magic to fly the helicopter, like how a pilot today simply controls the avionics, instead the pony pilot just sits up front and uses magic to control it? Or maybe have a sorta pilot co-pilot system going, the pilot flies and steers the helicopter while the copilot powers it with magic? Iunno

>>27989852
With Celestia as queen, it would be the other way around, with men having to be submissive and cover up.

>>27989865
Males are certainly a minority in Equestria.

>>27989865

Celestia confirmed Feminists?

>>27989872
The whole show is feminist.

What's the MLP universe equivalent of Somalians? Zebras?

interesting pic is it for an rp group or something?

I personally subscribe to the headcanon that all technology in Equestria is either very simple or powered by magic.

Many argue against this by pointing out that unicorns cannot possibly be powering every piece of machinery in Equestria, and they'd be right. After all, we've only ever seen a few unicorns which we know are more powerful than the average like Twilight, do more than levitate shit. But, they could be powered by magic stored in gems, or some magical artifact. We know this is possible in Equestria because of the Crystal Heart, a magical gem, and the existence of magical artifacts, like the Alicorn Amulet, and also the development of magical objects from non-unicorn magic, like potions created by Apple Bloom and Zecora. Whether these are created by magic inherent in Earth ponies or zebras or by the ingredients mixed in the potion, that have that magic stored within them , we do not know, nor do we know if it is possible for magic to actually be stored by active spells. But we do know that magic has the mechanical capability to power machinery, and that some objects contain magic. We just need to connect those two extra points the storing of magic in objects; the use of stored magic in spells in order for the possibility of technology powered by magic to be canon. This doesn't make it canon, of course, just the possibility.

That makes sense, but I picture any kind of machinery being operated by non-unicorns, since something like a helicopter or a forklift would really only benefit Pegasi and Earth ponies.
