The cruise and take-off thrust requirements of nuclear supersonic airplanes designed for Mach numbers of 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3 are presented. The requirements are expressed as a function of power plant plus crew shield weight and flight altitude. The total weight of the nuclear propulsion system was varied from 140,000 pounds to 340,000 pounds and the flight altitude from 20,000 to 80,000 feet. In addition the thrust requirements of a nuclear version of the B-70 are given as a function of total nuclear propulsion system weight and flight Mach number.
