What is so freaking amazing is that this design has been around longer then the B-52 and its powered by counter-rotating props while the Stratofortress is powered by 8 jet engines. The Bear bomber is only 75mph slower!!!
In fact in a dive it can beat the sound barrier but its true form is not speed but its noise that gives escort pilots problems. This is a legend of a bomber and still has plenty of life in her :)
Thats the girl that delivered Tsar Bomb?

@zonoguiz well, that was not the main reason, but then again it also had a factor into not developing a nuclear powered aircraft.

@harris3693 i thought the reason they stopped testing was because the crew was irradiated because of the reactor.

@Duhello88 It was mainly due to the dimensions of the aircraft and the impractically of a nucleared powered bomber of that size.
