The Kyushu J7W Shinden was an experimental Japanese fighter plane designed as a last-ditch defense against American B-29 bombers during World War II. Its unique feature was the placement of its wings at the rear of the fuselage with a propeller at the back.

Developed with haste, the Shinden was intended to be highly maneuverable but faced numerous technical challenges. Only two prototypes were completed before the war ended. Despite successful test flights, the aircraft never saw combat.

One of the prototypes survived the war and is now on display in the United States, while a replica was recently built for the movie Godzilla Minus One
