WS-125
The WS-125 was a proposed super long range strategic bomber, designed in the United States during the cold War as a Nuclear-powered aircraft and was scheduled to be named as B-72. In 1954, the USAF issued a weapons system requirement for a nuclear-powered bomber, designated WS-125. In 1956, GE teamed up with Convair (X211 program) and Pratt & Whitney with Lockheed in competitive engine/airframe development to address the requirement. In 1956, the USAF decided that the proposed WS-125 bomber was unfeasible as an operational strategic aircraft. Finally, after spending more than 1 billion dollars, the project was cancelled on March 28, 1961. ==Powerplants==
Two General Electric J87 turbofan engines were successfully powered to nearly full thrust using two shielded reactors. Two experimental engines complete with reactor systems,(HTRE 3 and HTRE 1), are currently located at the EBR-1 facility south of the Idaho National Laboratory .
