The Koken Long-Range Prototype Plane (Koken-ki) is the only aircraft made in Japan that has ever set a world record certified by the FAI (Federation Aeronautique Internationale.) From May 13 through May 15 of 1938, it flew 11,651 km at a circuit course around Tokyo.

For further info about the legendary aircraft, please visit our Cyber Museum commemorating Mineo Yamamoto, my late father and one of the key members of the Koken Project:

  • PartⅠ~Ⅲ、興味深く拝見しました。

    航研機の資料がこの様な形で残っていた事に驚きです。

    貴重なフィルムなのではないでしょうか?

    山本峰雄サイバーミュージアムも併せて拝見しました。

    こちらのサイトも大変面白いものでした。

    研三機のフィルムは無いのでしょうか?

  • コメント有難うございます。研三のフィルムも何処かに埋もれてい­るはずと思い探していますが、今のところ見当たりません。You­Tube のコミュニティーの中にどなたか手がかりを与えてくれる人がいれ­ば有難いと思っています。

  • Today, when we casually say that someone had courage to do some great thing, we haven't the smallest idea what these fantastic researchers did.

    Obviously it was a large, very skilled team. And all the world is indebted.
