Re: Nuclear airliners

Alternatively, one might want to use a solar powered jet/propeller plane.  You could get away with pretty low engine powers by reducing the required takeoff thrust by starting off with a dive.  Admittedly, it won't work at night, but it's significantly more suitable for air travel than a nuclear reactor.
