...tanker over Spain, a desperate Defense Department turned for help to the Sandia Laboratory in Albuquerque, which conducts bomb-electronics research for the AEC. Sandia scientists promptly requested all available accident data from the task force. With other experts, they pored over interviews with surviving B-52 crew members and witnesses on the ground; they studied Air Force wind-velocity records and the ballistic characteristics and impact points of the three recovered H-bombs. By feeding complex equations into computers, they projected trajectories backward from the impact points and established the precise location of the collision-the point from which...

With its remaining payload capacity of 180,000 Ibs., the nuclear dirigible could carry 400 passengers and a crew of 95.

Using nuclear fuel, the goliath of the skies could cruise endlessly around the world, picking up and disembarking passengers with an 18-place shuttle plane that would have its own hangar amidships. An all-cargo version of the dirigible could fly 150 compact cars across the Atlantic in 40 hours at a cost of about $140 per vehicle...
