There was an attempt to build a nuclear powered airplane. The engines are on display at Idaho National Laboratory in the 1950s.
The project failed to include a hotel.

interesting. I wouldn't have known about this if not for you so thank you for that. I don't know if a plane being capable of staying airborne for long periods of time is really a tactical advantage anymore but when they were working on this plane it certainly would have been.
