An interesting Boeing citation NASA CR 2012- 217556 on LENR http://coldfusionnow.org/next-generation-nasa/ > About 33% down the website above > Here is a deep link to the NASA document from the Cold Fusion Now! Web site: http://coldfusionnow.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Boeing-LENR-May-2012-20120009038_2012008934.pdf The document appears to be the summary of a workshop that was held by Boeing for recommendations on the long-term direction of research in green aircraft technology. LENR was among those technologies identified for attention. This is what they had to say in this connection: "As with the Virtual East team, the West team identified that the LENR concept provided the highest payoff" (p. 19). The risk, however, was also seen as the greatest. Somehow they were able to come up with a model to estimate the financial viability of a LENR-powered aircraft (p. 24). At another point the mention using liquid hydrogen. They consistently interpret LENR to mean both "low energy nuclear reaction" and "low energy nuclear reactor," so if their usage sticks, you might one day be able to power an airplane with a LENR.
