"In the 1950s, America's defense industry explored several radical ways to gain superiority over the rival Soviet Union. Convair's XAB-1 concept bomber employed two notions that were particularly fashionable during this Cold War peroid. One was the idea of atomic engines, power plants that could keep a plane airborne virtually indefinitely.The other idea was that of parasite fighters, high performance jets that were carried with the bomber and then released over enemy territory to provide airborne defense."
