The Lenticular Reentry Vehicle Above is a picture of the Lenticular Reentry Vehicle (LRV). This was a flying saucer type aircraft that was designed by the US Air Force in the 50's. The goal of this plane was to go up to high altitudes, practically outer space, and bomb the Soviet Union with nuclear bombs. All of this was revealed by declassified files in 1997, and made popular by a Popular Mechanics Article in 2000. So the question is raised, how far would the US have gone durring the Cold War.
