Nah. Nothing that dramatic. :)

Misread the power bit though. It has a 1490 hp engine and the KHI-107 output is 1400 hp so it should be somewhat slower.

A swept delta like that will reduce speed during this region because of the greater wing area and lower aspect ratio. Its really only M0.90+ and thinner wings where it'll be effective. 460mph is rather optimistic from the P-39 unless in a terminal dive.

Well, I'm no expert and the guy who drew it and created the data probably isn't either. Just stuck to the data because it's there. If it will make you happier, I'll gladly stick a rocket in there and make Manzo happy. :D

Please discuss this in the appropriate discussion thread and not in an encyclopedia entry.

Fear not, it's just the Japanese encyclopedia. How can one pollute it when it's already polluted. :D

Quite a few of those aircraft are rather nuts, I wouldn't take the specifications as realistic.

I don't really see what wrong with the historical Japanese aircraft like the Ki-87 and Ki-94. Don't really need the turbocharger to combat high altitude bombers (and it doesn't really work) so delete it, get a lighter and cleaner airframe that performs well at lower altitudes.
