Just saw the original post of that massive nuclear powered VTOL ummm, aircraft carrier.
I thought we ran out of such crazy ideas in the 1960s. Are those (retractable?) side bays behind the cockpit area just for more lift engines? While completely crazy, I suppose it is technically possible. Would probably cost as much as a Nimitz class carrier to maintain however, among other things.
The other smaller designs certainly look much more feasible.
And Moonbat, there are some very complex combat flight sims out there, although most come from developers in Eastern Europe these days.
