Scientific Essay from the year 2009 in the subject Engineering - Nuclear Engineering, grade: A , , course: Aviation, language: English, abstract: The paper will present a theoretical design for the use of nuclear power as a source of power for propulsion and power supply for high altitude platforms or HAP's. A short history of past proposals for nuclear power for airborne craft will be examined and a more practical application of 'derivative' nuclear power will be examined in light of the long endurance times needed for these high altitude 'airborne satellites' platforms.
