Mitsubishi Q2M


The Mitsubishi Q2M "Taiyō" design was derived from the Mitsubishi Ki-67-I Hiryū heavy/torpedo bomber of the Japanese Army. It was ordered for design and construction in the last stages of war.

Development

Powerful engines of 1,380 kW would have been used to drive five-blade propellers. Such an aircraft would have been managed by five or six crew. Due to technical troubles and a long development of the theoretical design, this aircraft did not advance from paper plans in last days of conflict.
