The first trans-Atlantic flight by a commercial jet powered solely by so-called sustainable aviation fuel has flown from London to New York.

    Absolutely true, but the consequences of a crash are too dire to ever let this be a thing.

    Plus, the ROI on a nuclear plane would be a joke. How you gonna pay for it? Maybe break even after 500,000 flights? :)

    And then there’s the maintenance and professionals and on and on.

      Yes the ROI would be abysmal. It would have to be operated at a loss, like lots of public transportation is.
