CAC CA-15

The CAC CA-15 also known unofficially as the CAC Kangaroo was an Australian propeller-driven fighter aircraft designed by the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation (CAC) during World War II. Due to protracted development the project was not completed until after the war and was cancelled after flight testing when the advent of jet aircraft was imminent.

(ARDU) where the Australian-designed CAC CA-15 was also being tested. Thus, at this particular time, ARDU was operating two of the fastest piston-engined fighters in the world.2
Since the CAC CA-15 "Kangaroo" first flew on 4 March 1946, it doesn't count as a "WW2 fighter". After all, WW2 had been over for 6 months and 17 days.3

Made by Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation.

The CAC Ca-15 has been added to our development list. Nicholas McColl has created an excellent model of this aircraft, and I look forward to its completion.4
aircraft (the CAC Woomera and CAC CA-15 respectively) were abandoned as the engines these aircraft required were not available and adequate US and British designs were produced under licence instead.5
