A couple of days ago, a friend of mine on Facebook suggested re-engining the Tu-95 Bear with turbofans. Most of his commenters were more concerned with why that wouldn't work than they were with talking about how it could be done. I dared to invite him over here to discuss the topic, but he finds the layout a little confusing. I thought I'd jumpstart the conversation by opening a thread. As always, feel free to chime in with any other Bear-related ideas.
