From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tachikawa Ki-94 was a single-seat, piston-engined monoplane fighter, developed for the Army. Intended as a counter to B-29 raids, it was optimized for high-altitude interception with a pressurized cockpit and heavy armament.

One aircraft was completed in August 1945 but before it flew, the war ended.
