Nuclear chopper drone will set a pizza right on your front porch. No pain no strain.

I’m no greenpeace hippy, but am I the only one here with a problem with the idea of having scores of nuclear reactors flying around over our heads?

Didn’t the Iranians recently take control of one of our drones and capture it?

Research on Nuclear Powered Rocket Engines in the 1950’s to the 70’s. The most powerful engine tested generated as much power as a 1300 Megawatt nuclear power plant.

Indeed.

UAV’s are being developed all the time. The only thing different in this article is their allegation of nukes being a payload. Not going to happen. When the NGB (Next Generation Bomber) was being considered a few years back, initially there was a question by the contractor's about the NGB being manned or unmanned. Manned was the answer—there would be NO unmanned aircraft nuke delivery platforms.

Is there the slightest chance this might be similar in concept to the "KUBE X15" announcement yesterday by TigerDirect? The timing is suspicious and I thought I might be slightly taller after reading it.
