The closed-cycle nuclear aircraft propulsion plant suggested in this study consists of: one main engine containing cooling fan, reactor, high-pressure turbine, recuperator, cooler, and compressor; and four ducted fans for propulsion, driven by 4 low-pressure turbines cornected in parallel. Different plant configarations were investigated. Performance of the selected type was calculated for altitude 39,400 ft. An aircraft for which the power plant would be suitable has roughly been sized and compared with the DC 8. (auth)
