92240 Tachikawa Ki-94-II

1:72

The history of this aircraft began sometime in mid-1942, when the Tachikawa company became interested in an army contract for the production of a heavy high-altitude fighter aircraft with powerful firepower. The project brief called for an aircraft capable of reaching speeds of around 800 km/h with a range of up to 3,000 km. The Tachikawa company therefore agreed to develop the project because of its considerable experience in the production of such aircraft.The Ki-94-I was a very interesting design. Read more

3 obtiskové varianty:

 

1. Ki-94-II of the Akeno Flight Training Division, Japan late 1945 /alternate marking/

2. Ki-94-II of the 102nd Hiko Sentai, Miyakanojo East airfield, Japan late 1945 /alternate marking/

3. Ki-94-II of the 244th Sentai, Chofu air-base, Japan, October 1945 /alternate marking/

 

The all-metal aircraft consisted of two nacelles, between which the designers placed the actual fuselage, which was to house a pressurized cockpit for the pilot and two powerful 2-star Mitsubishi Ha-221 Ru engines with an output of 2200 hp. One pushing and one pulling. A retractable tricycle landing gear with a front wheel was planned. Armament was to consist of two Ho-203 guns of 37 mm calibre mounted in nacelles under the wings or two Ho-105 guns of 30 mm calibre mounted in the wing. The aircraft could also carry bombs weighing up to 1000 kg, mounted on hinges under the fuselage or on hinges under the wings. In late 1943, a 1:1 scale wooden mock-up was built, but work on the project was suspended due to the possible technical failure of the machine. Moreover, it was unlikely that the aircraft would achieve the values required by the project.
