important part: The project of the latest version proposed the construction of an aircraft with a length of 50 m with a wing span of 40 m. According to calculations, the NX2 could fly at speeds up to 950-970 km / h at altitudes up to 12 km. It would also be possible to break through air defense at low altitude. The flight duration could exceed 24 hours, the range - at least 20-22 thousand km

there were also supposed to be multiple configurations of the plane if it was to be built but i dont think those are rly important

heres tha mockup:

also fun fact: although the plane was never built, the nuclear engine which was meant to power the nx-2 was flight tested in the cargo bay of a c-133 cargomaster and produced 27k pounds of thrust out of the back where the cargo doors should’ve been

interesting

[turbid compass]

So how do you balance the range in game if necessary

[warm frigate]

Low capacity could work

[mighty hazel]

is that a globemaster with a nuclear engine

well nuclear reactor

[tall forge]

it's a C-133 cargo master

they were the nuclear turbines designed for this plane

[mighty hazel]

wait

i forgot those ones were called cargomasters

[kindred plank]
