The design of the Kikka was based on the German Me262, but the type was intended for ground-attack and anti-shipping, not as a fighter. Although often referred to as the J9Y or J9N, it did not officially receive an Imperial Japanese Navy type designation and was known only by the name Kikka, which translates as ‘Orange Blossom’. The prototype first flew on 7th August 1945, but its attempted second flight was aborted during take off and the aircraft force landed in Tokyo bay. A second prototype was completed but did not get a chance to fly before the war ended. This is the only surviving example and was actually built for static load tests, rather than flight tests. Without engine nacelles and with undercarriage retracted, it is seen in the Steven F. Udvar Hazy Center as part of the National Air and Space Museum.
