unstable
Not significantly faster than F4U-4 corsairs it would undoubtedly see in combat if the japs lasted that long
Slower than, and lower climb rate than, the P-51H, which would have gone into service if the japs could prolong the war. And they would get their shit pushed in by the new version Mustang.
Not to mention F7F
Not to mention F8F
outnumbered
bad visability out the canopy
limited range
limited payload


Final assessment: Junk that would be shredded by Allied pilots. They would have been relegated to suicide fighters like all the rest of the Japanese airforces in no time.

>Dynamically unstable design
Canards can be made passively stable. Even more. Canards can be made spin resistant with inbuilt passive AoA limiter.

>>34113954
Don't forget lack of decent domestic steel resources and inability to access proper supplies of oil and rubber.

>>34113808
Propeller is at the wrong end

Too many wheels

You would be correct. On the other hand, Canard designs have less stability margin for any CoM shifts. I wonder how well it would actually handle while firing its guns.

Assuming it could've actually made it to the war, it ought to have made a nice fighter. Biggest issue would've just been keeping that big radial cool.

>>34113936
>Dynamically unstable design before the technology existed to compensate for it.
You're mixing up your tailless deltas with your conventional canard layouts. There's nothing unstable about this sort of plane; in fact, it's one of the most spin-resistant designs you can build. A buddy of mine has a Long-EZ like pic related and it is all but impossible to get that thing to depart at normal airspeeds.

Only at low altitude, which is not where it would be fighting because it was designed to intercept B-29s.

>>34113808
hows about the fact that the drive shat had vibration issues that were robbing power from the engine and the was never a satisfactory solution to stop overheating issues caused by the layout. not that these issues couldent be solved. from what i read its landing gear would need a total redesign for carrier use. it had a lot of the same problems the do335 had. im sure with time it could have been fixed. i think traditional designs beat the hell out of it just for cost and simpleness.

The length of the landing gear and the small spacing between them probably make the plane very hard to land safely.

This was supposed to be an interceptor,it's task would have been destroying B29s.not bombing targets and such.
4x 30mm is enough you slow tanuki

If you want to stop flying you need to find a US warship.

>>34113808
unstable in flight

>>34113808
if you pull up to fast you smash the rotor

The design was very probably sound. Manufacture of parts in Japan, especially late WWII when they couldn't even maintain regular aircrafts correctly, was probably mediocre at best however.

>>34113808
>Required unavailable resources and tooling to produce.
If you cant built it you cant fight with it.
Not being able to get to the battlefield is a major flaw.

>Fails to address strategic problems.
By August 1945 Japanese pilot training had been cut to near zero.
Other late Japanese designs got around that by being extremely simply to fly, single use, or both. The J7W was neither.

>Unable to inflict sufficient damage on B-29 raids.
The US B-29 attacks on Japan suffered virtually zero casualties.
The addition of a single interceptor design, without sufficient radar warning systems, AAA or night fighters, would not have been able to bring US losses to rates comparable to the European theater (~5% per raid), much less heavy enough to justify halting the attacks.

>>34119112
This.

I mean look at it, this is clearly a jet fighter just waiting to be fitted with jet engine and using rotors as a stopgap in the meantime. I'm convinced that's how it was originally designed.

>>34113808
The flaw is thinking it wouldn't get shot down in droves by later model P-47s and P-51s that would be flying sweeps and escorting the B-29s.

>>34116702
Good luck trying to survive the fighter screen long enough to make an attack

>>34115051
Oh wow, look guys, it's autistic.

>>34113808

It's a sitting duck for the P-51 and would be eaten alive by the P-80.

And you would be right, the officer who commissioned the design, Lieutenant Commander Masayoshi Tsuruno, believed a canard based aircraft would be a perfect platform a jet engine later on in it's development from inception.

It was always meant to be a jet fighter.

Poor visibility, landing struts are also flight control surfaces. Terrible design desu. Back to drawing board, baka. Most dishonorable.
