    Vulcain Maritime Propulsion Reactor

    I found some interesting articles on small nuclear reactors and maritime reactors from the 1960s. The business case they make for the small reactors as well as how to construct and run them economically are quite similar to those made for small modular reactors today. New Scientist No. 288 (24...

    Tactical Nuclear Weapons Against Hanoi

    I don't believe this topic has been introduced before, and if so please excuse the thread. In 1959 the Aerospace Research Projects Agency (ARPA) organized a think tank, code named JASON, composed of America's leading scientist to analyze various high level programs and topics that could...

    Palomino N40J/N45J

    During the 1960s San Antonio Aviation Company built a light single-seater under the name Palomino. The aircraft was registered N40J. It seems this aircraft was later modified as a tandem two-seater by Palomino Aircraft Associates, retaining the N40J registration. Again later (1994) it...

    I've done a search. and I'm surprised that there's no thread for this... Following the partial replacement, in 1959, of the British Ministry of Supply by the Ministry of Aviation, the iconic 'Rainbow Code' system for projects was also replaced, by a new system of two letters, and three numbers...

    Convair / General Dynamics Advanced Tactical Fighter (1965)

    Two General Dynamics designs are now known for this competition. I don't have any details about the requirement. Clearly STOL/ VSTOL, air-to-ground mission. Larger copies at Codeone website as usual. http://www.codeonemagazine.com/article.html?item_id=114...

    Convair Flying Submersible aka High Density Seaplane flying submarine (1962)

    Here's a Consolidated-Vultee wind tunnel model I cannot identify. The search engine did not recognize the design. Some details caught my attention: the centerline engine is bigger than the other two, which is odd. The wings fold, which is also unusual, at least for a bomber. Also, I'm...
