Ki-74 Kai
Tachikawa Ki-74 Kai
Background
The Tachikawa Ki-74 was a Japanese high altitude bomber/reconnaissance aircraft. It served during the later years of WWII. The Kai variant was a slightly larger prototype that was designed to carry the experimental heat-seeking anti-ship guided bomb the Ke-Go-109. It featured a wider wingspan and a larger pressurized cabin. The Ki-74 had excellent high altitude performance thanks to the turbo-superchargers that were installed on the engines. While the Kai variant of the Ki-74 never entered service, it definitely would have proven to be an effective design.
