This will be fun to see.. If they think they can “generate” fuel faster than they consume it...just sayin’!
Please remind me 10 years from now after this idiotic scheme is forgotten.
Sounds as if they’re planning on using nuclear carriers to power the process to create fuel for the aircraft on the carrier.
In flight refueling of aircraft was once perceived as an idiotic scheme.
Even consuming the fuel faster than they can produce it would make sense if it allows the generation of 25-50% more sorties before having to shut down to go conduct an unrep with a tanker.
A Nuclear Carrier has a lot of power available. Moving fuel from one side of the world to the other isn't exactly a fast operation, more like a never ending operation.
