Yes and no. They developed some conceptual engines, and they built a fission reactor into a plane without actually connecting it to anything. They were extremely preliminary results.

That having been said, I knew that the planes were not really nuclear but I was surprised to see how far they got with nuclear propulsion. I still don't think it really helps the Project, however - the infrastructure required for jet aircraft (nuclear or not) is simply beyond what the Project can support for a benefit they don't really need.
