In an interview with Discovery aired on the Planes That Never Flew episode about the WS-125, George Kerevan mentioned that the Soviet Union came up with a proposal for a nuclear-powered flying boat weighing 1,000 tons. The 1,000 ton flying boat had a wingspan over over 420 feet and four turbroprops delivering an excessive amount of shaftpower, and was intended to carry 1,000 passengers and a maximum load of 100 tons at 1,000 km/h (http://www.megazone.org/ANP/tech.shtml). Does anyone have drawings of this monster flying boat?

There was a topic for Bartini,

please use the search before open a new oe;

The thread that I started talks about 1950 design for the 1,000 passenger, 1,000 ton nuclear flying boat. I didn't know that the AL-40 was already discussed in the Bartini projects thread, so I was going to request drawings of the 1,000 ton nuclear powered passenger flying boat (the project is also discussed in the 1960 book "Soviet Nuclear Propulsion" by Roman G. Perelman).
 
Unfortunately,nothing is in two Russian books about Bartini ?.
