In this video, we talk about the closest the American military came to having a nuclearpowered aircraft, the Convair NB36H. 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 NB36H 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 nuclearpowered aircraft and how that aim never came to fruition.
