The USAF experimented with a nuclear-powered bomber.

… and runs on nuclear fusion …
Thanks for the laugh.
Looks like the Phoenix from Gatchaman/Battle Of The Planets/G-Force, Guardians Of Space. Does it go into a scary
Kagaku Ninpou Hinotori mode too?

Portable, controlled nuclear fusion has not yet been demonstrated. Neither intermittent nor continuous. So this is a design based on a fantasy.

It looks a tad over-engineered.
Since we don't have viable fusion reactors yet, we won't see these babies anytime soon.
The few experimental Tokamaks in existence aren't exactly portable.
But give it enough time and money, either it will work or someone will come up with something better.

I just read a thread about an electric airliner. Now nuke. I’m sure later in the day there will be a solar jet thread or a plane flying on wind power. A coal plane streaming black contrails??

Dumb concept, with useless blabering and window dressing.
Had they started with a simple nuclear flying slab, capable of lifting just a pilot at 50 mph, their fantasy would have been technically much more credible.

With those forward raking wings, any vibration at Mach 3 would tear them from the fuselage.
At least the debris would be in the Atlantic...

An atomic powered airplane sounds like the stupidest thing ever. What happens if it crashes?
But then I though storing radioactive waste in a dormant volcano was dumb.
But what do I know?

Perhaps using the word “flash” in the name of a nuclear-powered airliner isn’t the best idea in the world.
