Is there any variables other than time of the flight that impacts radiation exposure? Does flight altitude matter significantly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does flight altitude matter significantly? Yes. Higher altitudes and polar routes have considerably higher exposure. Of course, sitting in the middle of wiring harnesses surrounded by CRT's does help either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted June 12, 2019 Share #6 Posted June 12, 2019 Probably a good thing that CANEL never built a production engine. Connecticut advanced nuclear engine lab. Airplane engine The bomber wouldn't have to drop bombs, just fly over enemy cities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
