Read MoreAnswer (1 of 5): No. Could the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier Fly? If we think about something like shield helicarriers from the "Avengers", the rotors would need to be MINIMUM of hundreds of meters of size to keep a "helicarrier" that weights as much as typical aircraft carriers airborne, and power ...
Read MoreAnswer (1 of 5): The fuselage, no. The reactor and shielding, yes. It sat in a warehouse at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory for decades then was disposed of. The reason the program was scrapped wasn't because the concept didn't work but because the air going through the reactor got an...

Read MoreThe bomber carried a 1-megawatt, air-cooled nuclear reactor that hung on a hook inside its cavernous weapons bay that had to be lowered through the bomb bay doors into shielded underground facilities for storage between flights. Believe it or not… it only gets crazier from there. In theory, a nuclear-powered bomber could literally stay airborne for weeks at a time (if not longer) and …
