The Nakajima Ki-201 Karyu, meaning Fire Dragon, was a Japanese jet fighter and attack aircraft project designed in the final stages of the Second World War that was never built. Its design was heavily influenced by the Messerschmitt Me 262 and was considerably larger than the navy-requested Nakajima Kikka, slightly bigger than the German aircraft itself and closer in appearance to it. The Imperial Japanese Army ordered the proposal in late 1944 with targets of 800 to 1,000 km/h, a 12,000 m ceiling and at least 800 km of range. Basic drawings were finished in June 1945, with a first prototype planned for December 1945, but the programme ended with the surrender of Japan.
