    Planes that don't work

    There was a B-36 which had a nuclear reactor aboard, but it was only for airborne tests. it did not actually power the aircraft. The cockpit was heavily modified and shielded, it's said it was about as quiet as a glider. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convair_NB-36H

    Why isn't 357 sig popular?
