Nakajima Ha219

The Nakajima Ha219, (also known as the Ha-44 under the unified designation system, BH by the company and NK11A by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service (IJNAS)), was a late war Imperial Japanese Army Air Force (IJAAF) 2461 hp 18-cylinder air-cooled radial engine, used on the Tachikawa Ki-94-II, Nakajima Ki-84-N and Nakajima Ki-87.

Applications
A total of around 10 engines were built, but the engine suffered from over-heating at low speeds and required large amounts of maintenance. Around 7 were issued to the Kitai squadron in late 1945 and used on the new Ki-84-N, lacking the supercharger installed on the Ki-94-2 and Ki-87. most are believed to have been scrapped or destroyed after the war along with documentation.
