Nakajima designers Kenichi Matsumura and Kazuo Ohno laid out an aircraft that bore a strong but superficial resemblance to the Me 262. [ 2 ] The Kikka was designed in preliminary form to use the Tsu-11 , a rudimentary motorjet style jet engine that was essentially a ducted fan with an afterburner .
