Description
The Type 1 land attack aircraft was designed as a successor to the Type 96 land attack aircraft, and the
first flight of the first prototype was made on October 23, 1939.
The Navy's requirements at the time were severe: a maximum cruising range of
4,185 km under reconnaissance overload conditions, and a maximum cruising range of 3,704 km under attack overload conditions
with a bomb or torpedo carrying capacity of 800 kg . We adopted an integral tank , where part of the structure is made oil-tight and the structure itself becomes a tank , allowing a large amount of fuel to be carried within the main wing.
The thick, cigar-shaped fuselage, which is also a feature
, has a bomb bay installed inside the fuselage,
which sufficiently reduces drag from an aerodynamic perspective.The
unique and outstanding design
makes it an aircraft with performance that exceeds military requirements. I did.
However, the integral tank later
became the weak point of the Type 1 land attack aircraft, and
even the slightest hit to the main wing would cause it to catch fire,
resulting in much damage in air combat.
The total production number of each type was approximately 2,400 aircraft.
[About Type 24 (G4M2E)]
This type has the bomb bay removed and can carry one Ohka-11 aircraft in the center.Bulletproof
steel plates are installed in the cockpit, fuel tank, etc., so
the total weight when loaded with Ohka is reduced. As the aircraft's flight performance deteriorated,
it was often shot down before Ohka took off, and
could not fulfill its role as Ohka's mother aircraft.
(The scene of Oka (I-13) taking off in the package illustration is fictitious.)
