New Air Force Plan Scraps Nuclear Plane in favor of later atomic design
The Air Force told Congress that the first nuclear powered bomber designs were scrapped due to heavy engines and uncertain military value. A new approach aims for a smaller, faster, cheaper atomic plane by around 1963, with annual funding cut from over 700 million to just over 200 million dollars. Former Secretary Donald A. Quarles said the abandoned bomber would cost about twice that of the first atomic bombs. A separate notice seeks the return of a lost burro named DeSoto, pet of Cathy and Carol Naylor, last seen near deSoto Lake.
