CONVAIR NX-2 CAMAL, The Story Of The Secret Post WW2 Atomic Powered Bomber Plane

That video appears to be cobbled together from several other documentaries, including one from The Military Channel.

And the first one? It included, without apparent attribution, diagrams *I* made.

Bah.

What's especially galling is that the diagrams were modified to *remove* my ID...

And the whole lot. Basically: what Pratt (= CANEL) did with the indirect cycle, post 1961 ANP cancellation (besides the SNAP-50 spaceborne reactor, but that's another story)

For the record: Convair NX-2 was to fly with 4 nuclear J58s grouped in a package called the NJ-18A propulsion system.

Hello,
I am working on a performance analysis of the JTN11 engine and these sources are an incredible find. Is it possible you could tell me where you got these scans and/or where to find more P&W reports/studies? All that I've been able to find is just from osti.gov.
