Nuclear-powered aircraft will be transporting millions of passengers around the world beyond 2050, says Ian Poll, Professor of Aerospace Engineering at Cranfield university, and head of technology for the U.K. government-funded Omega project.
Poll is calling for a big research program to help the aviation industry convert from fossil fuels to nuclear energy without hindrance from environmental concerns.
