!historychads !engineering

The story of a concept design made by Lockheed back in the 60s, a 6,000 tons aircraft with a wingspan of 1,120 ft, it was supposed to be nuclear powered and able to carry up to 22 fighter jets.

Gotta love all those weird Cold War concepts. Mustard also has great vids on Soviet era prototypes like the ekranoplans and the Buran shuttle.
