[@therealspeedwagon1451]

There was also a military version of this proposed. It was very similar and there were three versions. The first was a flying aircraft carrier designed to fit fighter aircraft, the second was a troop transport that could carry thousands of soldiers anywhere in the world, and the third one was classified but likely carried nuclear weapons. All of which would’ve been fed by a nuclear reactor so heavily shielded the plane could crash directly into a mountain and the nuclear reactor would survive. As insane this all is it’s possible it could’ve flown if you believe that formations of strange lights are this gargantuan behemoth of a plane.

[@435cyberteam9]

Kind of reminds me of the horten xviii. Giant German flying wing jet bomber that was supposed to carry a bunch of ho229's as parasite fighters that could in theory make it to America with a full bomb load and back (I'd assume it would be nuclear capable assuming Germany got nukes), using the parasite fighters as escorts when it entered American airspace. It was just a concept, but there was a proposal to convert it to a luxury airliner after the war (assuming Germany won) which would have almost everything a cruise liner would. I think the Americans took inspiration from the ho229 and horten xviii and tried to actually make a flying wing bomber that could also be converted to an airliner, the YB-49 I think it was. It was built and was tested, but one of the two prototypes crashed during a test flight. It completely failed but later led to the B2 spirit, so I guess it wasn't a complete failure. None of this was nuclear powered, but it's crazy to think that people actually tried to make this. And how much of it' was inspired by Nazi tech.

[@therealspeedwagon1451]

@@435cyberteam9 I personally don’t think the Nazis would’ve ever had nukes even if they had the time, money, and resources to do it. Hitler himself considered nuclear science “Jewish science”. Besides most German physicists were Jewish and fled to America to work on the Manhattan project and escape persecution. TL;DR: Anything Hitler said was final, including entire fields of science
