Tachikawa Ki-94

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term Tachikawa Ki-94 refers to two designs of the Tachikawa Hikoki K.K. aircraft factory. The first was a twin-boom monoplane with two engines driving four blade tractor and pusher propellors, but this design was abandoned as being judged too complex by the technical department of the Japanese Air Force^[1]. The second Ki-94 design was a more conventional 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.
