  • I think this was the only japanese aircraft to have an in line engine during the second world war bearing in mind the germans were allies they supplied japan with the same engine as the me 109 i think a daimler benz and japan designed a fighter around it.

  • while it wasn't the only inline-engined japanese aircraft of WW2 (also were D4Y2 Judy, Ki-60, Ki-64 & Ki-78 prototypes, Ki-32 Mary, Ki-10 Perry...), it was the only japanese fighter to use the DB-601 engine supplied by Germany.

see all

  • @lape2002 However, did not have the reliablity of the Db-601. I have not discovered why yet.

    The first guy comment should have said the only deployed Jap fighter that had an inline engine.

  • こんなんまだ世界には残ってんやね、すごい。

  • @ahz123 haha ok it's CGI.  I thought the approach wasn't quite right, lol. Well done. But are there any examples left?

  • I built a model of that aircraft when I was a kid. I didn't know there were any flying examples.

  • @luvpinas123 Similar engine, different plane though

  • Achi D3A Val

    looks like Heinkel wings

    and then the Ki 61 Hien Tony

    are the results of German / Japanese cooperation in ww2

    the Ki-61 in 1943 would have needed the stronger Junkers Jumo 213

    Two-stage Three-gear turbo

    Additional injections MW-50 Water-methanol injection

    and in large amount

    GM-1 nitrous oxide injection (Distickstoffmonoxid)

    ohh Mustang or Corsair say good night hihi

  • @luvpinas123 nope. it was a german-led design team that gave birth to the Tony. However, it is the engine that is a license built version (Ha-40 if i remember correctly) of the german DB601 inline V12 that powered this graceful machine. It outperformed early allied types but soon found itself outclassed by 1943.

  • @luvpinas123 Sort of.

  • this is actually a japanese version of the bf. 109
