IIRC there was a documentary about this plane, they actually built a nuclear powered airplane but the crews couldn’t stand the radiation and with shielding it wouldn’t fly.
how about a nuclear powered unmanned drone, with heat rays that could stay over a target literally for weeks?
Wow. That’s actually interesting.
What’s the advantage of a nuclear powered airplane?
It’s not like subs where it’s moving for weeks and months at a time.
I was visited by the son of US developers of the US nuclear-powered aircraft. I read about it later at Wikipedia—was news to me!
