Kawasaki Ki-64 from the left

Here we see the only prototype of the Kawasaki Ki-64, an experimental high speed fighter that used two engines, one for each of its two contra-rotating propellers. The prototype suffered an engine fire on its fifth flight, had to be dismantled to be repaired and was never re-assembled.
