An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/2mp-WpdlZ802dyt7T6jpKA==, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Designed by a team led by Captain Masaki Tsuroma, the J7W was ordered into production before the first of two prototypes was completed and flown. No further examples were built, due to the end of World War II before production could begin. Both of the J7W prototypes were abandoned, one to the scrapyard and the other captured by the US Army.

The Kyushu J7W Shinden [Magnificent Lighting] was an IJN experimental interceptor designed to intercept B-29 bombers. In 1945, when the Americans were bombing Japanese cities with the B-29, Japan had to develop an aircraft that could match the altitude of these new bombers, which would be fast and have strong armament. The J7W Shinden [Magnificent lighting] was one of those fighters which could destroy B-29s while having speed, attitude performance and armament. it was ordered into production, however, as World War II ended before it could be mass produced. Only 1 aircraft was built, and can be found in the Washington air museum.

abstract	The Kyushu J7W Shinden [Magnificent Lighting] was an IJN experimental interceptor designed to intercept B-29 bombers. In 1945, when the Americans were bombing Japanese cities with the B-29, Japan had to develop an aircraft that could match the altitude of these new bombers, which would be fast and have strong armament. The J7W Shinden [Magnificent lighting] was one of those fighters which could destroy B-29s while having speed, attitude performance and armament. it was ordered into production, however, as World War II ended before it could be mass produced. Only 1 aircraft was built, and can be found in the Washington air museum. VARIANTS: J7W1- the first propeller variant of J7W, and its the only version that was built. J7W2- the jet version of J7W, only existed on paper. J7W3- another jet version of J7W, also only existed on paper. Only diffirence was that this version had "bubble canopy" DESIGN OF AIRCRAFT: This plane did not look like other planes did. It has so called "cannard" design. This design had engine and wings in rear, while elevators on nose of aircraft - a design also used for the Curtiss XP-55 Ascender, an American aircraft. The propeller was six-bladed, and the whole aircraft itself was one of the most unusual aircraft ever built. Designed by a team led by Captain Masaki Tsuroma, the J7W was ordered into production before the first of two prototypes was completed and flown. No further examples were built, due to the end of World War II before production could begin. Both of the J7W prototypes were abandoned, one to the scrapyard and the other captured by the US Army.
