Although I prefer a/c that actually flew I'm interested in these alternative aircraft powerplants. We already have rocketplanes.. so why not nuclear or steam? :lol:

What if Besler steam plane had gone into production and entered early ww2 as armed variant?

9-cyl steam radial if you wonder what it would sound like

Other madcap scheme was the nuclear powered aircraft (and most think that germans had the most crazy ideas :lol: ). I think only X-6/NB-36H would be the only fitting in '46.. hardly.

Last is more conventionally powered a/c.. but I think it's the most crazy one 8)
Submersible aircraft... or is that flying submarine? :lol:
