rdfs:comment	The Convair NB-36H was a bomber that carried a nuclear reactor. It was also known as the "Crusader". It was built from a B-36 that had been damaged by a tornado. It was created for the Nuclear Powered Aircraft program, or the NPA, to show the feasibility of a nuclear-powered bomber. It ended with the cancellation of the NPA program, because eventually jet engines began to have greater range and reliability, eliminating the need for a nuclear-powered bomber.
Developed Into	Convair X-6
