The engine was buried in the fuselage, behind the pilot, and drove contr-rotating propellers by an extension shaft; a cannon fired through the propeller spinner. Understandably, the streamlined FK.55 attracted much attention at the Paris salon in 1936 -- it was not known to the public that this was a mock-up. The real aircraft was less attractive. The FK.55 was a shoulder wing aircraft and the retractable landing gear was temporarely abandoned, and the engine and drive were underdeveloped. It was flown only once.
