Talk:Nakajima Kikka

message: Seems to me the article mixes up two aircraft, the experimental Nakajima 'Kikka', a straight wing research aircraft considerably smaller than the Messerschmitt 262 and the Nakkajima Ki-201 'Karyu', a projected fighter aircaft with a striking resemblance to the Messerschmitt 262, up to it's back-swept wings and much greater dimensions.

message: Ne-130 and Ne-330 were not upgraded version of Ne-20. They were larger engines than Ne-20, and they were for Ki-201 Karyu, not for J9Y Kikka. Upgraded version of Ne-20 was known as Ne-20-Kai or Ne-120. Sources:

thread_title:  Engines for fighter version 

message: The Me 262 is an entirely conventional aircraft, aerodynamically. Its wings have a very slight sweepback angle, but it is nowhere near enough to qualify them as "swept" wings, or to convey any sort of aerodynamic benefit such as achieved by the later MiG-15 or F-86. A C-47 also has sweepback angle on its wings, yet most people would not describe that as "swept" wings. So does a Sunderland, and a Texan. The Me 262 has sweepback on both leading and trailing edges, but the overall sweep angle is not significantly greater than any of those aircraft. The proper way to put it is that the "Kikka had conventional wings, lacking any sweepback angle, unlike the Me 262". that language doesn't imply that the Me 262 is a "swept wing fighter" (as far as I can remember, the only reason the Me 262 even has that feature is that it was the easiest way to adjust a COG issue...just like the story with the Sunderland).
