History
The J7W2 Shinden-Kai was a planed upgrade of the J7W1 Shinden, it would have replaced the Mitsubishi Ha-43 propeller engine with the Ne-130 axial turbojet. The use of a jet engine in the Shinden was considered since the early planing stages but development of Japan's first jet engine was proceeding slowly so it was decided to first fit the aircraft with a propeller engine and then later change to the turbojet once the Ne-130 was available. The war ended before the propeller powder Shinden was finished and no jet version was ever built.
