A pre-emptive entry; The RQH-60M HELODRONE. Essentially an A.I. piloted Black Hawk helicopter used for inserting and extracting special forces.
From the computer game Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, set in an alternate post-apocalyptic 2007.

AH88-J2 Kai Grey Ghost from the recent The Next Generation Patlabor: Shuto Kessen movie.
As you can see, despite it's designation, it's a totally different design from the Hellhound (the Next Generation series & movie is set in a different timeline from the various original anime incarnations; in this timeline the Babylon project was a failure and as a result Japan is still (2013AD at the opening of the series) in the midst of a bubble recession, with labors having become scarce due to this and other factors).

Love the naval Toryu on floats!!
The pics don't do this one justice. It's absolutely beautiful in the movie (a sadly underrated one, by the way, one of the most faithful comic book adaptations I've seen).

P-1117 Kingfisher VTOL used primarily by the Royal Air Force and the British Army in the Resistance: Fall of Man games universe, set in an alternate late 20th Century (primary PODs include there being no Spanish-American War, a Tunguska Event with rather a different outcome and a pretty different Great War and aftermath). Incidentally the design is derived from work originally done on VTOL aircraft for the American government in this alternate timeline carried out by none other than a certain Nikola Tesla.
P-1117 Kingfisher
The P-1117 Kingfisher is a VTOL aircraft used by the British Army. As the United States Armed Forces finally resolved the issues plaguing the UH-17 Atlas in 1937, a successor aircraft, the U/AV-17 Hawk was developed. With the revolutionary nature of the aircraft proving its worth, many European...

1- Hovercraft featured in The Hunger Games, Catching Fire and The Hunger Games, Mockingjay.
These come in two variants, the high tech ones from the Capitol, and a reverse engineered version used by District 13 rebels, only with ducted fans replacing the blueish power source. Armaments include dumb bombs and bunker buster bombs,
2- Fort Zancudo UFO from GTA V(Grand Theft Auto V).
A manmade lenticular UFO, with resemblances of the VZ-9 Avrocar, B-2 Spirit and F-117 Nighthawk. With several eyeball cameras at the ,and two counterrotating turbines help it stay airbone, meaning is no true antigravity vehicle. Funnily enough, there is a roughly modeled cockpit interior that got scrapped.
3- X-49 Night Raven in Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere

Despite it's wacky appearance, when compared to real configuration studies like the Busemann Biplane, the idea of a near Hypersonic unconventional fighter like this doesn't seem too crazy anymore:
Allegedly they built a remote control jet for the movie but I'll be damned if i can find any pics.
"... and so we built a master and made a set of tooling and pulled several fuselages from that, including some very very thin ones that ended up being flown, with RC controls", says a gentleman in that video.
No word in this clip whether any footage of those flights ended up in the movie. Sort of impressive they got something flyable in that day and age out of that; probably some bulky analog radio stuff and a shape better suited for flights of fancy than real, stable aerodynamics.

H.A.R.P. (High-Altitude Reconnaissance Plane)from Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Allegedly based on the SR-91 Aurora, but to me looks like a crossbreed between an SR-71 Blackbird and early 70s Stealth attempts like Teledyne Ryan's Model 268.

H.A.R.P.
For a similar scorestreaks, see Orbital VSAT and H.A.T.R.. For a similar killstreak, see SR-71 Blackbird. "High-Altitude Reconnaissance Plane that shows both enemy position and direction on the mini-map." — In-game description. The H.A.R.P. (High-Altitude Reconnaissance Plane) is a Scorestreak...
