The TV-8 was presented in a proposal by Chrysler Corporation subsequent to the Astron "X-weapon" project. [2] Using an unconventional tank design, the proposed tank located the entire crew, engine and ammunition storage within a pod-shaped turret mounted above a lightweight chassis which could be separated for air shipment.
The F-105 had been designed for a short nuclear campaign, leading to shortcomings that became evident in a lengthy conventional war, such as a poor hydraulics layout and fuel tanks that were not self-sealing. [34] Subsequent upgrades improved the reliability and weapons capacity of the existing F-105Ds.

The development of conventionally armed attack aircraft in the United States stagnated after World War II, [6] as design efforts for tactical aircraft focused on the delivery of nuclear weapons using high-speed designs such as the McDonnell F-101 Voodoo and Republic F-105 Thunderchief. [7]
The Northrop F-89 Scorpion is an all-weather, twin-engined interceptor aircraft designed and produced by the American aircraft manufacturer Northrop Corporation.It was the first jet-powered aircraft to be designed for the interceptor role from the outset to enter service, [1] as well as the first combat aircraft to be armed with air-to-air nuclear weapons in the form of the unguided Genie rocket.

Starting in 1956 Hughes Electronics began the development of an enlarged version of the GAR-1D Falcon that would carry a nuclear warhead.It was intended to provide a sure kill in attacks on Soviet heavy bomber aircraft, at a time when guided missiles were not accurate enough to produce high-probability kills with small conventional warheads.
