TheYokosukaTenga (天河, "Milky Way") was a proposal to provide theImperial Japanese Navy with a jet-poweredbomber towards the end of World War II. The concept was to replace thepiston engines of theYokosukaP1Y1 withturbojets.[1]
The powerplant selected was the 8.34 kN (1,870 lbf) thrustIshikawajima Ne-30 then under development. However, before a single example could be built, both the Ne-30 project and the Tenga were cancelled due to technical difficulties with the turbojet design.
