Hello,
This was the Air Force's plan to turn a Boeing 747 into an airborne aircraft carrier
An airborne aircraft carrier--The stuff of science fiction? Well, yes, but not as unrealistic as you might think.www.wearethemighty.com

ATK and British Aerospace studied the use of the 747 and other large commerical jets to serve as ASAT system via a bank of vertical missile tubes, much like a boomer.
Here photos from AWST Nov 1990.Dronte said:In view of the material already presented in the forum this topic will surely motivate enough crossposting but I believe that the topic deserves to take their own place.
-A 90's proposal of GE for a Super-AWACS. A wind tunnel model existed but I have not gotten pictures of the same one.
Here is a Model and drawing to Super-AWACS project
So true.Perhaps more dangerous would be the Soviet reaction. They’d be in a constant state of freaking out every time one of these took to the sky, and they probably would have difficulty telling an MC-747 from an E-4 or a civilian 747. And, of course, they’d have to have their own. the AN-124 would be the logical choice for an ICBM carrier, and chances are good they’d do as good of a job with it as they did with Chernobyl, the Kursk or the Polyus.
