 * The R2Y2's biggest downfall is its speed.

-The R2Y2 was a jet-powered version of the R2Y1 designed by Kugisho. Known as the Keiun or Keiun-Kai ("Beautiful Cloud" in Japanese) the aircraft would be a high-speed jet-bomber/attacker that could be used in the defence of the home islands of the Japanese empire. The power plant of the jet Keiun-Kai would be a pair of Mitsubishi Ne-330 turbojet engines mounted in pods located, with one under each wing. Later versions ([[R2Y2_Kai_V2|V2]] and [[R2Y2_Kai_V3|V3]]) would feature the engines mounted centrally within the fuselage.

 The Y-40 project began with failure of the Kugisho R1Y1 (Y-30) project for a fast, high-speed reconnaissance aircraft. The development of that project, along with inspiration from the German Heinkel He 119, the R2Y (Y-40) project was developed. Initially intended as a fast reconnaissance aircraft with a long-range that could be operated from land bases across the Japanese Empire, that would avoid interception with high-speed flight, however, Kugisho also informed the IJN that the aircraft could be adapted to other roles. They proposed that the planned Aichi Ha-70 engine powerplant of the R2Y1 could be replaced by a pair of Mitsubishi Ne-330 turbojet engines. Nonetheless, work on the R2Y1 continued, however, it proved troublesome due to the Aichi powerplant. Issues with the R2Y1 airframe, its powerplant and interference from American bombing prevented the development of the project past the piston-engine variant. By April 1945 the first prototype of the Keiun was ready for initial trials, with the first flight in early May of the same year. The R2Y1 suffered engine-cooling issues during its early development, and fire occurred during ground-testing that would damage the aircraft and its powerplant.

 ===V1 Variant===
-The V1 variant of the R2Y2 featured a somewhat conventional design for an early jet aircraft in that it featured two engines (due to the low thrust and power of early jets) mounted in pods, with one under each wing. A similar configuration to that featured on the [[Me_262_A-1a|Me 262 Schwalbe]], [[Meteor_F_Mk_3|Gloster Meteor]] and [[Kikka|Nakajima Kikka]] jet aircraft. All 3 variants feature a pair of Mitsubishi Ne-330 turbojet engines. The V1 is the R2Y2 in its most basic configuration that was very much the rushed conversion from the R2Y1. Due to the limited time frame on the project and the severity of the situation facing Japan in 1945, the V1 was chosen out of the 3 proposed R2Y2 variants, due to the lower cost to produce it.
