The P-68 Falcon was a top secret project by the U.S. military designed to combat the new ME 262. It used a prototype 5000 hp engine and preformed well in tests, but some stability issues prevented it from entering service before the war was over. With projects moving to jet engines, it was eventually scrapped and forgotten by history.
