Nuclear propulsion in a fighter? It's either going to be the biggest
heaviest fighter ever built or the mechanics will be able to perform
one (1) launch and the pilot one (1) mssion. And it better be a short
one, too, or else the pilot'll be barfing his guts out before he gets
back on final. Radiation, you know . . .

I'm sure they've developed a new shielding material with the
performance of lead and the weight of balsa wood to incorporate into
this new generation of wundermachinen.
When you have billions of people why worry about the pilot ?
Just stuff a new one in for each mission...
I forsee certain difficulties with training.
Maybe they'll subcontract the training to the Alphonse Cadea Aviation
Academy..
