Overview
The Mitsubishi Shūsui , naval-designation J8M, army-designation Ki-200, is a World War II rocket-powered interceptor aircraft designed and produced by the Japanese aircraft manufacturer Mitsubishi. It is closely based on the German Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet. The name Shūsui literally translates to "Autumn Water", but is used as a poetic term meaning "Sharp Sword" deriving from the swishing sound of a sword.
