Part 2
The Atom Plane
Development of the Nuclear-Powered Bomber
William J. Brown, Retired, USAF, NASA Glenn
About the Topic
The story can now be told about the USAF nuclear-powered bomber due to security declassification. Mr. Brown during his
military service played an engineering role in the nuclear propulsion system as well as development of ionic air propulsion.
Very little is known today about the Aircraft Nuclear Propulsion project, which spanned 10 years and the expenditure of
one billion dollars. This was a highly advanced technology program conducted during the Cold War to provide a continuous
30-day flying bomber ready to respond to any attack on the United States. The mission objectives presented an enormous
engineering challenge since an airplane has a critical weight limitation, unlike a nuclear-powered submarine that can
accept heavy reactor shielding. High turbojet and reactor material temperatures combined with nuclear radiation led to
the necessity for a major advancement in technology.
Mr. Brown complements his story with several interesting experiences at Wright Patterson Air Force Base including aircraft
and security incidents along with a flying saucer investigation.
