Kyūshū J7W
The J7W was developed for the Imperial Japanese Navy as a specific response to the B-29 Superfortress raids on the Japanese homeland. It was to be operated from land bases. The canard concept was tested first by building a number of gliders with this layout, designated MXY6[6].
The first prototype, the only one to have flown, is currently in storage at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C.
