Design of possible liquid metal cooled reactor for aircraft use, of approximately 9 ft width and 13 ft height; various factors and uncertainties of shielding problem suggest that minimum aircraft size is likely to be of order of 150,000 lb and may well be twice as great; problem of takeoff power; possibility for subsonic aircraft.
