The Nakajima Ki-201 Script error: No such module "Nihongo". was a Japanese jet fighter/attack aircraft project designed during the final stages of World War II but which was not built.

Development

The unrelated and much smaller Nakajima Kikka had been developed as a result of interest by the Navy in an equivalent to the German Messerschmitt Me 262, but the similarities to that aircraft were very limited.[1] On the other hand, the design team led by Iwao Shibuya based the Karyū more closely on the German aircraft, but was over 8% larger.

The Ki-201 project was ordered by the Imperial Japanese Army in late 1944, with a performance requirement of an Template:Cvt top speed, Template:Cvt ceiling, and a Template:Cvt range. The design was developed by Nakajima during 1945 and basic drawings were completed by June.[2]

Nakajima anticipated the completion of the first prototype Karyū by December, and the first 18 pre-production aircraft by March 1946.[2] Work on the first airframe had not started when Japan surrendered.[1][2]
