後方に大出力エンジン、機首に大口径砲、後退翼、先尾翼(水平)
発想は素晴らしいが、遅すぎた・・・ でも、それでも、驚異的な開発速度だ。
先人の偉さを思い知る。UP有難う御座いました。

The most favorite fighter plane.

Hm, i had never heard of this untill i bought Battlestations: Pacific and unlocked this awesome plane. :D

@MrHelmyabdullah Many planes have used a similar design, just not very many production models. The issue of the Shinden's propeller banging into the tarmac on take off being a reason its not more mainstream. Her propeller design is actually a result of her being designed with jet engines in mind with the option of traditional piston engines if jets weren't available.

Its propeller looks futuristic ! Similar to today's ATR-72 , or its the other way round ? ATR-72 FOLLOWS Shinden's propeller . An aircraft ahead of its time even to today's 2011's standards !!!

@siral000 Hey, not only the japanese provocated the war. America and others did much too, 'poking' Japan

Very rare footage, nice find...The anime "The Sky Crawlers" has a very nice "repo" version in it and what it might have been like in battle. The film actually has some very interesting designs/mocks of a few planes from WWII.

@ktc8308 hope so too!
What a vintage beauty it is. Hope a restored replica can be airworthy.

The japanese and the germans are great in innovations! Great job but to late as the jetstream jets and the rockets in Germany .
