Yes, the TOS Enterprise is what I'm talking about. Those triangular features on the underside of the saucer at ten and two o'clock (if forward is 12) are two of the landing struts retracted and the third is hidden by where the dorsal is attached to the saucer. One assumes there's a hole in the third or something for the turbolifts to travel through, but there we are. Original Enterprise (or bits of it) designed for atmo, at least in an emergency capacity. No conclusions, just stating fact (as told by fiction) as a response to the "Enterprise ain't got feet" folks.

-- Vessel designed for extremely rapid (hundreds/thousands of Gs) acceleration to near-light speed (high impulse power)
-- Vessel has artificial gravity (external intertial dampers/internal gravity plating)
-- Vessel can project artificial gravity (tractor beam/pusher beam)
-- Vessel capable of easily entering and leaving orbits
-- Vessel withstands violent explosions and stresses when shields are down

But nooo, it can't withstand slow, level flight in an atmosphere on a 1G world?

Does ANYONE know physics on this site? If you can design a starship to handle all of the above, by default it handles something as simple as 1G atmospheric flight. That doesn't mean the Enterprise is designed to "land" on a surface, but I have no trouble believing that it can *launch* from one, i.e. from shipyard to orbit.

Personally, we can all argue the aesthetic choice of having the Abrams Enterprise built on Earth vs. a space dock-- I don't much like it either. But the technical challenges of it? Even the TOS Enterprise did crazier stuff on a daily basis than this. They *control gravity*, people. Ask yourself all the cool things that can happen the moment you can do THAT.

Really, this is the stupidest argument ever, and it's about time for it to stop.

Given the apparent quality of the Enterprise in the clip (the non-blinking beacons, etc.), I doubt if it's intended to be in the final film (setting aside the question of whether the NCC-1701 could operate within an atmosphere. A powerful enough gravity field along the lines of the internal artificial gravity plating might allow this, though I wouldn't want to stand below it).

In conclusion, it's either a fun little bit of animation by an amateur, or an early test by the film's computer animation guys. Or perhaps it's part of the viral marketing campaign, you know, reports of a mysterious spacecraft seen over our cities. Clovertrek indeed.

And I suppose there's a difference between "gliding" slowly through the atmosphere like this, and coming in from space full tilt like a bat out of hell.

Ohhhh, there was no comfort there!
In "Tomorrow is Yesterday", the Enterprise got dumped into Earth's upper stratosphere with most systems out...

Hate to pull geek rank, but you're just assuming. The enterprise comfortably sustained atmospheric flight in the original series. It flew low enough that it was buzzed by 1960's fighter jets.

Shuttlecraft aren't really aerodynamic ether. we have to assume that if all systems are nominal, atmospheric flight is possible.

(Heck, that thing in the foreground isn't even a proper skyscraper, it's a medium-sized apartment building.) No way. Unless they really *did* shrink it. "Pocket Spock" might be an interesting action-figure tie-in...

The second engine is just slightly visible hidden by the main decks.

It also seems pretty obvious that it must be fake..

@cljohnston108: my memoy's faded, and I'm pretty sure you're right...but just in case...didn't the Enterprise break atmo in Star Trek IV at some point? I have memories of a scene with the Enterprise and the Golden Gate Bridge, but that's probably a poster or promo item of some sort.

It doesn't have landing gear, so it would have to remain in flight if it did.

Could be that this is part of a visual breakdown used to block out the real effects shots. Think moving storyboard.

1- If we are to believe the enterprise is flying, away from us at a 3/4 view. Then why can't we see only one engine? Both should be tword us as it's flying away.
2-I'm late for work, and Just noticed I have 15 minutes to get there. Damn this interesting debate.
3-It's a static picture of the enterprise fom the front click and dragged, if the new movie has "effects" like this, I don't want to see it.

I'm just shocked that we get a post on Saturday. Does this mean there is a chance of a review of last nights Torchwood before Monday?

There are a couple of small vehicles flying about in the shot as well.

shit. Have to go see it anyway.

Battle Star G's. style makes looks things look as if someone is using a cell phone to record events. Maybe this is Breaking News, and we just don't hear the voice over of the News Monsters: "This new Earth ship greatly amuses me! We will enjoy destroying it! Then we will enslave all of you!"

God help the Federation if they're floating their ships over population centers like this! It just wouldn't happen unless there was some kind of horrible emergency. It still looks really cool. I love the Enterprise.

Kinda why they're not aerodynamic at all.
That's what always impressed me about TOS - the Enterprise wasn't shaped like a torpedo, with pointy nose & tailfins, like all the ships that'd gone previously in Sci-Fi.

Might be used in a the edit for the time being as a proxy for the final vfx shot when it gets done.

It's probably not even 3d animation. This is a 2D work done with a video effects app like AfterEffects. The enterprise there is just a static image being moved between two static cityscape mattes with some color-keyed video of rustling branches in the foreground.

Not only is this fake, it is also horrible quality. Any freshman student of a 3d animation package can do a much better job than that.
Hell, I can do a much better job myself and I'm just an animation hobbyist!
