X-Plane 11.30+ Nakajima Kikka 1.0. The Nakajima Kikka was Japan's first jet aircraft. It was developed late in World War II and the first prototype had only flown once before the end of the conflict. Compared to the Me 262, the Kikka airframe was noticeably smaller and even more conventional in design, with straight wings (lacking the slight sweepback of the Me 262) and tail surfaces. The triangular fuselage cross section characteristic of the German design was less pronounced, due to smaller fuel tanks. The main landing gear of the Kikka were taken from the A6M Zero and the nose wheel from the tail of a Yokosuka P1Y bomber. Two models are included in this package: the VFR version flown in 1945, and a fictional IFR version which has a modern GPS/Glass/HUD/etc. Documentation included in the package. By Billy Bargagliotti.
