The XP-81 was a development of the Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation to build a single seat, long range escort fighter that combined use of both a turbojet and a turboprop engines. Two prototype aircraft were ordered on February 11, 1944 that were designated XP-81. The choice of engines was predicated upon an attempt to couple the performance of the jet engine with the endurance offered by the propeller engine. The XP-81 was designed to use the General Electric TG-100 turboprop engine in the nose driving a four bladed propeller and an Allison built J33 turbojet in the rear fuselage. The TG-100 was later re-designated XT-31. The turboprop would be used for normal flight and cruising and the turbojet added for high-speed flight. ...more on Wikipedia about "Convair XP-81"
