| Barry, 07.06.2016 14:59 First flying on 8th May 1945, the first of two such aircraft was destroyed a few days later by an American air raid, whereupon all production was cancelled. There was talk of powering the second aircraft with Mitsubishi Ne-330 turbo jets but nothing came of it.
The power plant was as noted was in fact two coupled Aichi Atsuta developing 1,700 h.p. each reply | | Trevor Webb, e-mail, 09.02.2012 04:14 According to some sources the Me509 was built and shipped to Japan. The R2Y1 is an enlarged development of this. The Me509 was a development of the Me 309 with the engine and cockpit transposed. The was a second incomplete protype at the end of the war with two jet engines in mid fuslage and of course no prp which was designated R2Y2. reply |

The second R2Y prototype was actually not earmarked for completion as the R2Y2. The R2Y2 had yet to progress beyond the design phase when the Japanese surrendered.
