No. It was the American Jet 400 Hustler of the late 70's. Only one? built. Had a turboprop in the front and a jet in the rear (to improve take-off and climb performance)...

Yepp, the Ryan Dark Shark.
Not really an unknown aircraft, like the Fireball, the Savage, the MiG-13 etc. Has anyone pictures or info about some of the more obscure mixed-propulsion aircraft? Knowing about the deficiencies of the early jet engine, those must have been relatively common in the late 40's and early 50's.

Good to know... maybe you should correct the error in Wiki..
That's what makes wikipedia, wikipedia!

The Mixmaster with additional jets, cool. Didn't know that. I also read that they tried to developed remotely controlled gun barbettes for that type.
The Baroudeur? Still checking...
Yep, the Baroudeur:
The Sud-Est SE5003 Baroudeur
And another one, one of my favorites:

Krabat, yours is the impressive Tupolev ANT-25.
New one. Development started way back in the 70's

The fuse makes me think of a Sea Fury.

The fuselage is a heavily modified North American SNJ-5. The main undercarriage units are also from a SNJ-5. The wheels, tyres and brakes are from a Sabreliner and the engine is from a Convair T-29 with the prop spinner and hub from a DC-7.
The designer was an aeronautical engineer for Lockheed until his retirement in 1972. In retirement he designed a two-seat homebuilt called the Firefly, then began work on this Unlimited Class racing aircraft which at one time was called the Dos Equis Challenger.
'Jane's' annual 1984-1985 stated that it "could prove to be the fastest piston engined aircraft in the world around a closed circuit".
Ok it' s hasent been any new question of guess this plane now so I gonna give you one here if you dont mind. Ok here's goes
It newer played it's roll trou the whole WWII for the contry that created the plane but for other country it did.
The last of them used as a communication and meterological reconnaissance.
It normally carrried 2000 rounds of bullet.
carried no bombs.
It whas lighter and agiler than a Zero but no faster.
nearly 220 of that plane whent for export.
In the cold winter day's some where fitted whit skies.
It whas used against the japanese air force and the first score it did whas the A5M.

It whas faster and got nearly twice so bigger firepower than a A5M "Claude" bur whas heavier.

It whas used against the japanese air force and the first score it did whas the A5M.
Power to weight ratio at maximum take off was around 5.86 lb/hk.
The engine it used whas not over 25 litres and weighted little over 1000 lbs

The last of them used as a communication and meterological reconnaissance.
It normally carrried 2000 rounds of bullet.
Whit all the guns together it fired 80 rounds per sec.
carried no bombs.
It whas lighter, has shorter wingspan but nearly 1/3 times bigger wingarea and agiler than a Zero but no faster.
It whas faster and got nearly twice so bigger firepower than a A5M "Claude" bur whas heavier.
They produced nearly 750 of this plane and nearly 220 of it whent for export.

The early version used 2-blades woodproppeller and later version the Fairey-Reed metalproppeller.
Build whit 2 wingstag on each side.
Used hydralic manuvering trailing-edge flaps.
Landinggear of brackettype whit an internally-sprung wheel.
An enclosed cockpit.
