The finished aircraft was 7.565 metres long with an 11-metre wingspan. It met the length limit and reached the edge of the requested span. The aircraft could make roughly 235 knots at 3,000 metres, about 45 knots beyond the requested speed. A climb to 3,000 metres in three minutes and 35 seconds suggests that it could satisfy the more demanding altitude requirement, although the precise fuel figure remains uncertain. The fighter retained two 7.7 mm guns and a radio and could carry a 160-litre drop tank or bombs.
