| The A-60's nose doesn't seem to have any openings, however. Instead, there's a "large bulge on the upper back of the aircraft [that] is apparently a sliding port for a 1-megawatt laser turret," space historian Dwayne A. Day writes for The Review. "The laser is clearly intended to fire up, at something above the plane, rather than to the sides or down, to engage ground targets or other aircraft." |
