History

The Flying Neutrons Inc is one of the nation's oldest member-owned flying clubs, dedicated to providing safe and low-cost flying. The club was founded in 1952 by engineers from the nearby GE engine plant in Evendale OH, which is now one of the world's largest jet engine facilities. The engineers in 1952 were designing a nuclear aircraft engine for strategic bombers. They succeeded in a workable engine, but never were able to solve the crashworthiness issue and so the engine was never deployed. The spirit of thoroughness, precision and innovation you would expect from nuclear aviation engineers continues today.

Google is my friend...
