Re: Hang on... Nuclear

I have sometimes wondered why they didn't go for an RTG style power plant driving propellers. That way they could have had something like a SHIELD helicarrier.

Refuels would be as simple as plug-and-play, hot-swappable units being replaced as each was used up.

Or is that a totally absurd, physically impossible non-starter?
