No shit, anon. I was being sarcastic.
I was shitting on the other guy.
America is wise to not involve themselves with the Chinese. As would be the Euros. But they can't resist. Europe is a continent of pussies.

Oh, I had assumed, because of the modifications to the empennage, that they got it directly from boeing.

Too heavy shielding for a plane.

Project Pluto, hell of a project

the X-6 was an interesting B-36 its cockpit design was different it was more like some of the earlier 36s

I am aware of radiation shielding materials, but is there any plausibility in the realm of science for a substance that could act as a radiation "extinguisher?"

For example, imagine an aircraft powered by closed-cycle nuclear thrust. Now imagine that aircraft crashing horribly. Say, if a breach in its reactor core were detected, would there be any possibility of some analog of a fire-suppression system being place, to activate and seal off or cover the reactor, preventing a radiation leak?

Feel free to entertain wild advances in the future of material science and chemistry.
