    You were informed before applying that Astolfo does not accept PayPal.

    oh sorry I thought it did... I bought with card so I wasn't really looking for paypal. I'll delete my message 🤷‍♂️

    It is real, but does not (officially exist) yet. 

    So why would they spend 20 billion dollars for it? From what I understand it uses nuclear science to make it work, which could be really expensive.

    Oh ye btw the reason it can fly is the "ring accelerator" ("magnetic field breaker" or "MFD") surrounding the cockpit is filled with plasma, which is capable of creating magnetic vortex fields.  This accelerator uses mercury in its work, which is subjected to a pressure of 250,000 atmospheres at a temperature of 150 degrees Kelvin (about 66 degrees Celsius) and accelerates to 50-60 thousand revolutions per minute, which makes it possible to obtain a superconducting plasma. It’s a pity, of course, that I’ll never get to know these guys from the US Air Force flying on a plane with a nuclear engine, surrounded by a cyclotron with mercury plasma, but it is pretty cool that this thing exists, even though there is still a chance that it may be super inefficient, and just not worth using. But I'm sure they will find some other fun uses for this almost unreal technology. What do you astolfo users think of this from just reading about the tip of the iceberg. 

    And you actually understand how all that works? Impressive... either you did your research really well or you're some kind of plane expert. That is a plane right? And is it actually real or in a movie?
