Tachikawa Ki-74

The Tachikawa Ki-74 was a Japanese experimental long-range reconnaissance bomber of World War II.

A twin-engine, mid-wing monoplane, it was developed for the Imperial Japanese Army.

Development

The prototype Ki-74 first flew in March 1944; it was powered by 1,641-kW (2,200-hp) Ha-211 Ru radial engines. Following on from this, thirteen pre-production machines were constructed; these substituted the Ha-211 Ru engine for the Ha-104. ^[1]

The Ki-74 did not see operational service. Nevertheless, the Allies assigned the type the codename "Patsy".
