The Avengers (2012)

Corrected entry: Helicopters work by creating a low pressure zone above the rotors, by forcing the air down. In other words, sucking air away from the top side. Since the helicarrier is basically a giant helicopter, it's lifted by rotors, it should be sucking air in from the top. But judging by the way Banner's jacket blows, it's blowing air out.

Correction: While it's true a helicopter rotor uses reduced pressure above the rotor to produce lift, a rotor in a hovering [which is what the carrier is doing as it begins converting from sea to air] or vortex ring state, will produce updraft at the tips of the rotors, which is what is causing Banner's jacket to blow the way it does.
