Title: Japanese super plane
Post by: TracerX on June 23, 2003, 02:48:20 PM

Ok, a long time ago, I read a book that had a picture of a prototype that the Japanese were working on at the end of the war.  I was a canard design with a pusher 6 or 8 blade prop, and 2 or 4 20mm cannons.  I believe it flew once or twice, but never made it to production.  The tested airspeed was incredible though.  It was a flying bullet.  Anyone know of this plane?
