Its not about the destination its about the journey And the journey is being packed into a metal tube with 5000 other people, next to a nuclear reactor

Mercury_Storm posted:Just having your last name changed at your own job can be a disaster. Any idea on how many systems will suddenly break or not allow you to log in because your email address changed and it wont sync over from active directory properly? At least half of them, and you'll be dealing with broken poo poo or finding new broken poo poo for months, at least. During the pandemic, the company I work for decided to change travel agents for Concur. Apparently doing this requires dumping all of the info from concur. So they reimported all of our info from AD. Generally I go by Tom. But my ID says Thomas. So when I went to book flights, I didn't realize they had hosed up my name. I get to the airport and have to change my ticket because of it. I'm still trying to figure out what is causing my pre-check stuff to not get passed through correctly.

My favorite part is the square windows everywhere, something aircraft designers have known is a Bad loving Idea basically since the debut of jet airliners. That alone makes it pretty clear that the total level of engineering thought that went into this was just rolling up to a 3D designer and saying "make me an airplane render that looks like a flying cruise ship". Aircraft windows are small and oval-shaped for a reason: an airplane is a pressurized metal tube that has to be able to hold in considerable air pressure at high altitudes. The windows are weak points in the structure, and the stresses tended to concentrate at the sharp corners of square windows. Metal fatigue would accumulate around the corners of the windows until the skin weakened enough to cause scary phrases like "structural failure" and "in-flight breakup" - along with the destruction of the plane and the deaths of everyone onboard.

Why not just build an electric blimp? It's not like cruises have to go anywhere fast, and a blimp flies low enough that you can have huge windows. Plus, power consumption is way lower, so you don't have to make it nuclear.

Seems like it could be useful for war aircrafts and even cargo The absolute last thing i would want a nuclear powerplant in an aircraft for is a wartime plane that could get shot out of the sky, and spread radioactive debris over a multi-kilometre area. Peacetime cargo? sure. But not an aircraft that will need to see combat against anti-air defenses.

Seems like it could be useful for war aircrafts and even cargo basically the reactor and shielding is too heavy for all but the largest aircraft, and its really not good when a nuclear powered aircraft crashes there was experimentation done in the 1950s but the downsides are too severe and the potential upsides too minimal to bother with nuclear aircraft Mister Facetious posted:The absolute last thing i would want a nuclear powerplant in an aircraft for is a wartime plane that could get shot out of the sky, and spread radioactive debris over a multi-kilometre area. an aircraft getting shot down means it is very likely to happen over enemy territory, where you don't care as much about ruining the landscape in war or peace though, aircraft do tend to crash, and it would be super not good for your airfield to be covered in radioactive debris

Basically it works out like this. You can make a nuclear reactor fly. Making a nuclear reactor and the shielding it needs fly is a very different matter. Which lead to the development of Project Pluto. For when a nuclear cruise missile isn't a spicy enough gently caress you.

Elias_Maluco posted:Makes me think: why nobody ever tried a nuclear plane before? Seems like it could be useful for war aircrafts and even cargo Oh, they did try. During the earlier parts of the Cold War when the primary nuclear deterrent was having strategic bombers ready to launch within 10 minutes, the US and Soviet air arms were very much in love with the idea of a nuclear-powered bomber that could stay in the air for days or weeks at a time, ready to go drop bombs at a moment's notice. Problem is, a nuclear reactor is loving heavy. If you want to add a ton of lead shielding so that it's not blasting the surroundings (and the crew) with radiation, it's even heavier. It took a large amount of work and numerous test flights just to reach the point where they could fit a nuclear reactor on a plane while retaining useful cargo capacity and not killing the crew, and by the time they got that far, the invention of useful ICBMs had rendered the whole concept obsolete.
