In reply top Rare WW2 japanese footage posted by Michel Lemieux on Wed Aug 20, 2003 03:10:24 PM

On the photos I've seen, the air intakes of the Ha-43 powered J7W1 were fairly flush with the fuselage. I'm intrigued by what appears to be a comparatively large intake on the starboard side in the photo you posted, Michel (Or am I just seeing things?). I've read that the Japanese were planning to re-engine the Shinden with a Ne-130 turbojet--could this be part of that project?

Somebody knows!
