Designation: WS-125
Also Known As: WS-125A
Nationality: American
Remarks: USAF proposal for a very long range strategic bomber powered by nuclear engines, created during the mid-1950s but canceled during the early design stages after being made unnecessary by rapidly developing ICBM technology


[edit] Notes

Design concepts for the WS-125 included detachable nuclear reactor modules that could be replaced as needed, and a cockpit housed in a mini-airplane that served as the tail of the WS-125 and was detachable in case of emergency (see Concept Drawing below).
