The last two test flights took place in the last days of the war and the prototype was only 45 minutes long. flight. The propulsion was a Mitsubishi Ha-43-41 engine with a capacity of 2030KM moving the push propeller, which unfortunately caused too much vibration and made maneuvers difficult during test flights. Accordingly, a version of the J7W2 Shinden-Kai was developed, which was planned to be equipped with a turbojet engine. This version never got past the design stage.
