megaplayboy Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 The Lockheed Cl-1201, nuclear powered flying aircraft carrier/cargo plane, the largest aircraft ever proposed. 1120 foot wingspan(about the length of a Nimitz class CVN), 560 feet long(2.5 times the length of a 747). Total weight 5625 tons. In the flying aircraft carrier configuration it would have carried it's own air wing of 24 fighters(apparently full size!) Happy to have finally found another pic of it after glimpsing the image years ago while flipping through a book.

Pursuing this highly feasible concept on the Interwebs did not lead me to detailed blueprints. I did, on the other hand, learn about the CIA's proposed manned ballistic reconnaissance missile, a concept eventually abandoned when old fuddy-duddies got upset about the idea of a regular programme of shooting missiles at Russia, no matter how awesome the pictures would have been. The Cold War got all the best stuff. (Source credit: Aerospace Blog.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
