The Nakajima Kikka (Nakajima) Tangerine Blossom was Japan's first jet aircraft.
Design and development After the Japanese military attaché visited the Messerschmitt Me-262 in Germany in 1944, the Royal Japanese Navy developed the Nakajima Kikka as a fast attack bomber. Among the design specifications was the requirement that the wings should be foldable.
As the Navy began to prepare for defense, this feature allowed the aircraft to be hidden in caves and tunnels. （The Nakajima Tangerine was powered by the new German BMW axial-flow turbojet 003.
The Nakajima Tangerine progressed again before the summer of 1945, and in this condition, the Royal Japanese Navy changed the role of the aircraft to that of an attack aircraft. Compared to the Me-262, the (Nakajima) Tangerine was a smaller design, with a flatter wing.
Due to the smaller gasoline tank. （The main landing gear of the (Nakajima) Orange Blossom took its design from the Yokosuka P1Y bomber.
Operational history The first prototype began ground tests on June 30, 1945, and in July it was folded and the first prototype was launched. In July it was folded and delivered to a naval airfield.
The first flights were made in August 1945, during which the aircraft was determined to be mission capable. Other second-generation versions included a reconnaissance aircraft armed with two 30mm guns.

2. Military Aircraft Knowledge Quiz Difficulty 3.8 Introducing this aircraft,
The Japanese Kyushu Q1W Tokai anti-submarine patrol aircraft captured by the U.S. Army, nicknamed "Rona" by the Allied Forces, entered service in 1943, with a length of 12.09M, a wingspan of 16.0M, and a wingspan of 16.5M. 12.09M, wingspan 16M, height 4.12M, 3 members, equipped with 2 sets of 610 horsepower Hitachi engine, maximum range of 1340KM, speed 322KM/H, ceiling 4490M, maximum takeoff 5318KG, mainly installed a 7MM front machine gun, two 20MM cannon, carrying two 250KG depth charges.
***Production of 153 aircraft! It is impossible to tell if this is the all-metal construction Q1W1 or the half-gold, half-wood Q1W2, and it should not be a 4-man trainer type. In the face of swarms of American "small sharks", the Japanese really headache, frigate shortage is difficult to protect the transportation of important materials in and out of Japan's freighters, to learn from the enemy of Europe - Britain, so Japan's early airborne anti-submarine aircraft appeared, and is said to be installed with a magnetic detector, really counted on the armed to the teeth of the (must be).
But what could 153 do against the little sharks and the B29s that were over the airfields all day?
3. What is the hottest military aircraft
The Ukrainian An-225 Dreamliner is currently the world's largest military aircraft, and not only does it hold the world record for the largest bell transport, it also has the largest payload.
The ^ wing span of 88.4 meters, 84 meters long, 18.2 meters high, effective "weight" of 250 tons, developed by the Soviet Union Antonov Design Bureau, the design began in mid-1985, December 21, 1988, the first prototype? The prototype first flew on December 21, 1988. The prototype flew on December 21, 1988, and on May 13, 1989, it made its first flight with a loaded Tempest space shuttle, of which only one has been produced. The cargo hold of the An-225 Dream can hold up to 16 containers of large aerospace components and other equipment, or large equipment and components for the gas, oil, mining, energy and other industries.
The back of the aircraft is capable of carrying very long cargoes, such as the former Soviet Space Shuttle Tempest and its companion Energizer launch vehicle. Such a large device from the production assembly plant, can be complete, not disassembled transport to the use of the place, both to ensure product quality, but also shorten the transportation cycle.
4. military helicopters are mainly divided into which categories
Military helicopters, including armed, transportation, combat service three categories (a) armed helicopter (armed helicopter) with a weapon system on board, used to attack the ground, surface (or underwater) and air targets, also known as attack helicopters or combat helicopters (attack helicopter, bat helicopter). The helicopter is also known as attack helicopter or battle helicopter (attack helicopter, bat helicopter).
The modern armed helicopter weapon system usually includes: anti-tank (armor) missiles, anti-ship missiles, air-to-air missiles, artillery, rockets and machine guns. According to different combat tasks, there can be a variety of weapons mounted.
Usually a type of armed helicopter with the ability to carry a variety of weapons, can perform a variety of attack tasks, known as "a machine multi-purpose". However, due to the flight weight, performance and use of many aspects of the requirements or limitations, there are specialized or mainly perform a certain task, so the armed helicopters can be divided into the following types:
Strong attack helicopters Mainly perform on the ground, water surface target attack mission. Can also carry air-to-air missiles or artillery, with the ability to attack the air or self-defense, but its main mission is to cooperate with the ground forces in combat, for the elimination of the enemy's armor and other various soft and hard targets, the implementation of fire support, which is the main purpose of modern armed helicopters.
2. Air combat helicopters, also known as "fighter helicopters", are mainly used to deal with air targets - enemy helicopters, low-flying fixed-wing aircraft or other flying objects, to fight for ultra-low-altitude (usually below 150m height) air control, but also for our transportation, combat helicopters escort.
3. anti-ship helicopters mainly perform the task of attacking enemy ship targets.
4. anti-submarine helicopters are equipped with equipment for searching and detecting submarines, as well as torpedoes, depth charges and other weapons, and mainly perform anti-submarine warfare tasks.
(2) Transportation helicopters to carry out the transport of combat personnel, weapons and equipment and a variety of military supplies, equipment and other tasks. These helicopters can have different sizes of carrying capacity, but the type of task is transportation, including the use of heavy helicopters on large weapons and equipment or material lifting.
(C) combat service helicopters short for "war service helicopters". This is used to perform a variety of specific combat service helicopters.
According to the specialized reconnaissance, communications, command, electronic countermeasures, school shooting, rescue, rescue, mine laying, mine clearance, relay guidance and coaching and other different tasks, the helicopter is equipped with a specific mission to complete the mission of the on-board mission equipment to become a special combat helicopters. Usually there are the following types: 1. reconnaissance helicopters Equipped with special reconnaissance equipment to carry out aerial reconnaissance missions.
2. Communication helicopter Carrying special communication equipment, used to perform air communication (or relay communication) tasks. 3. 3. Command helicopter Carrying combat command, observation, communication and other equipment, used for the implementation of aerial command (mainly for their own helicopter command).
4. electronic countermeasures helicopter equipped with electronic countermeasures equipment, to carry out electronic countermeasures tasks. 5. calibration helicopter Equipped with air calibration equipment, used for artillery to indicate the target and correct the shooting.
6. Ambulance helicopter Equipped with stretcher, paramedic and simple ambulance equipment to transport the sick and wounded to the hospital or designated place. This type of helicopter is usually formed by installing a stretcher (which can be quickly disassembled and assembled) and other facilities with a transportation helicopter.
In the large helicopter, equipped with a more comprehensive diagnostic testing and a variety of surgical equipment, can be in the rescue site for surgical treatment, this helicopter is known as the "air hospital", in fact, is also a kind of rescue helicopter. 7. Rescue helicopters equipped with search, rescue (such as life-saving winches, emergency medical equipment, etc.) and pinpointing equipment for the rescue of people in distress (such as emergency parachute landing flight personnel search and rescue).
8. Mine-laying and mine-clearing helicopters Carrying mine-laying or mine-clearing facilities to carry out mine-laying and mine-clearing operations. 9. Relay guidance helicopter Carry missile guidance equipment, can transmit target information to the missile in flight, and guide the missile to hit the target.
10. trainer helicopter With two seats, dual manipulation system, dedicated to the training of pilots. Usually in this kind of helicopter driving training, and tactical flight training, should be in the armed, transportation or a variety of war helicopters, all types of helicopters can be used for training, especially advanced driving and tactical training, but does not call these helicopters for the dedicated training helicopters.
