America's Lone "Nuclear-Powered" Bomber: Convair NB-36H

Описание к видео America's Lone "Nuclear-Powered" Bomber: Convair NB-36H

In this video, we talk about the closest the American military came to having a nuclear-powered aircraft, the Convair NB-36H. We talk about the origins of the program back in the 40's with testing on nuclear engines. We also discuss the primary purpose of the NB-36H in how it tested the feasibility of having a nuclear reactor on an aircraft. We then talk about how the project aimed to advance into a fully nuclear-powered aircraft and how that aim never came to fruition.
