Planes That Never Flew.An account of world-beating aircraft projects that were scrapped before their time. Each aircraft is recreated and shown using computer graphics. Includes archive footage and interviews.In the grip of a rapidly escalating Cold War America poured billions into developing a giant nuclear powered bomber, a plane so fantastic that it could stay aloft for months at a time.

Jul 24, 2011 - i see you have had lots of replies, but if you really want a good insight into the types of nuclear bombs i recommend the wiki page for nuclear weapon, its quite a fascinating read.

Aug 11, 2011 - Kennedy wasn't dumb. He solved the Cuba-crisis without causing a nuclear war. And as a German I use to remind his famous Berlin-speech. And don't forget the candidate of the Republicans who wanted to "fire nukes out of his hip like a gunslinger"

Dec 4, 2011 - How come this documentary never points out that the M50 Nuclear powered plane was only a hoax by Aviation Week Magazine? The M50 was a real prototype bomber, but was never nuclear-powered.
JetMech72 Says:
Dec 4, 2011 - Well, that'll teach me to watch the whole video before commenting. Disregard my previous post.

Apr 14, 2012 - "Ordered them stopped because they where 'to ambitious'" - everything you need to know, ambitionless men. Im sure they would have done the same about the international telegraph cable, the flying vechile, the underwater submarine, the national road/rail/power projects... Hell if this where medieval time they would have been against well drilling and automized water mills!!! Ludites, traitors, and cowards!!!

Apr 25, 2012 - Go build me a time machine, or is that too ambitious for you?

Apr 29, 2012 - Russia for some reason started flying those bombers around the world not too long ago for some strange reason. That's why you can get pictures of f-15s intercepting them, also euro typhoons, and, I have one photo of an f-22 next to the bomber. They fighters just basically keep an eye on the bomber.

Apr 30, 2012 - "How come this documentary never points out that the M50 Nuclear powered plane was only a hoax by Aviation Week Magazine?"Watch from aprox 8:00 of this video, - directly addresses Kennedy's use of the "Missile Gap" and the "Bomber Gap" in the 1960 election, plus the fact that there was no Russian Nuclear Bomber (at least at that time).

May 3, 2012 - As good as this Idea seemed in the '40s- By the 1950's we knew that satellites could remain in space almost indefinitely.and there was no need for an "Atomic Aircraft".
