I have no idea why this was recommended to me but I am by no means complaining. Cool stuff!

Experimental B36 with nuclear reactor on board. Reactor was live and operational during test flights, but did not actually deliver engine / propeller flying power. Just how was superheated air from the reactor supposed to turn the propellers? Certainly not by simply being pumped into the radial engines' cylinders. Reciprocating motors, the pistons, are driven by expanding gas. Would need something like a Stirling cycle engine for the heated air to work. Does anyone out there have an explanation?
