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. The Convair WS 125 was the ultimate doomsday machine...

Recently declassified Russian Cold War era documents disclose they actually flew a prototype Atomic engined bomber.

@anarxisttt Nope, if you immigrate here and sign the papers to be a citizen you are American, you shed your skin of your old nationality. You wanna live here enjoy US freedom and pay, then your inventions are US not the old country you moved away from....

@TheRidersChoice I think you don't understand the difference between inventing something and buying patents. I would agree with you, the US in the last century were very good at buying patents of already invented things.

@TheRidersChoice And a lot of Russian engineers work in USA, cos there they got a lot better payment.

[anarxisttt]

@TheRidersChoice Cos mostly russians, germans and japanese invented everything ! :D

[TheRidersChoice]

Why does nobody ever say the United States has the smartest most innovative engineers? We pretty much have designed everything in the past 2 centuries
