    it reminds me of the Ryan XF-Fireball, a mixed-engine fighter, but he actually have a Radial engine in conjunction with the jet engine.

    It’s called the North American FJ-1 Fury. Bill Gunston in his book (remember actual books?), “Fighters of the Fifties” states far more conclusively that the P-51 was the starting point, though it was redesigned to a certain extent to accommodate a jet engine and new fuselage. Wing and tail were highly similar to the Mustang’s. But the real reason why the FJ-1 or most turbojet conversions of WWII aircraft (one could argue in favor of the F-84, but the P-47 design was totally thrown out during the P-84’s development) were so quickly phased out was that straight wings were rapidly superseded by the superior swept wing designs.

    Honestly pretty realistic, I can definitely see this as a real design we would’ve made if it were needed

    in 1946 with the realization industrial problems for allied nations were not going to recover in time if a soviet invasion came the surplus F-51 Mustangs were salvaged to be rebuilt with jet engines as a stopgap method until factories could be made for developing new aviation industries. following the Designation F-52, the aicraft remained as a capable stopgap fighter for nearly 7 years.
