Report on studies conducted by Douglas Aircraft Co to select best engine type for nuclear powered aircraft and determine feasibility of using one aircraft design for several missions; for nuclear system to be applied to multi-purpose aircraft, speed for maximum productivity does not change with engine type, aircraft powered by turboprop engine systems are most productive, and increases in cruise altitude decrease productivity.
