Nakajima Kikka 中島 橘花

皇国二号兵器

The Kikka was to be the only Japanese jet aircraft to fly during the World War Two. The development of Japanese jets was very late, until the Germans did not put into service the Me-262, which had been in development since 1938. It was developed late in World War II and the first prototype had only flown once before the end of the conflict.

Powerplant: 2 × Ishikawajima Ne-20 axial-flow turbojet engines, 4.66 kN (1,047 lbf) thrust each
