Kugisho NK-1b Fighter
Yes, from now on I'll make Japanese experimental planes (Hikoki 1946) too, there aren't many but there are some very interesting ones, maybe I'll also make some experimental English planes.
History:
In the years leading up to WWI, many Japanese aircraft companies developed concepts for high-speed fighters utilizing the latest breakthroughs in aerodynamic streamlining. Taking cues from racing aircraft developed during the period, the goal was to minimizing protrusions, incorporate air-slicing propeller spinners and, in many cases, place the cockpit as far to the rear of the plane as possible. .
Kugisho was a leader in streamlined aircraft development. The NK-1b had an ovoid fuselage to better incorporate its radial engine. Its larger spinner provided additional streamlining. In contrast to many other designs that had wings placed low on the fuselage, the NK-1b had its wings close to the centerline.
Despite offering many benefits, this design never made it to the prototype stage.
Take off power : 1000hp(2550rpm), Altitude power : 980hp(2500rpm/3000m), Double row 14 cylinders air cooling radial , Bore : 130mm,
stroke : 150mm, Displacement : 27.9L, Compression ratio : 7.2, Diameter : 1150mm, Dry weight : 530kg, Production period : D.C.1939 to 1941
How to use:
- Button 1: Open or close the cockpit
- Button 2: Stabilizer

@5cmPak38aufPzKpfwIISfl901 There's even a version with a DB 601 engine, so it's like a Japanese Me209. By the way, thanks for the information on the name, I didn't know that...
you know, this is a really interesting plane, because there seems to be next to no real info of this plane, even the "images" are just fattened Me-209s, but there are aircraft, the Seino Hyojun or the 15-Shi Ru-Go, are said to be the actual names for the Nk-1b Fighter. so i still don't know...
@Farewellntchii in fact when I saw the plane for the first time it reminded me of a clown's nose XD
Ooo I’m excited
