  • The J8M1 was powered by the Toko Ro. 2 Engine built under license which was capable of propelling it at speeds of up to 900 kilometers per hour. Armament on the J8M1 consisted of two 30mm Type 5 Autocannons. Inside the aircraft would be a single pilot with around 7 ½ minutes worth of fuel. The total weight of the J8M was around 1,500 kilograms unloaded while its total length was around six meters. The wingspan meanwhile was 9.4 meters. Even though the type was built under license, the J8M did feature some differences to its base Me 163. One of the more noticeable visual changes was with the removal of the charging propeller on the nose of the aircraft. Being a rocket aircraft, the rate of climb was naturally very good at 3,000 meters per minute and it was capable of flying up to 12,000 meters, enough to intercept its B-29 targets. The problem with the design concept was that the pilot could only attack his target with a few passes before being forced to land. Furthermore, the fuel that the Germans had used to make their aircraft was extremely volatile, meaning that upon landing, the aircraft would oftentimes explode. It did not help that the aircraft ejected its landing gear upon takeoff and glided in on a ski for landing. This meant that to avoid combustion, pilot's had to eject the remaining fuel and risk not being able to get back to the airfield.
