NAVY/Army Rocket-powered Interceptor Fighter' Shusui'

On the basis of, pair ultrahigh altitude bomber interception fighter Messerschmitt Me163B "Komet" that war last stage was brought about from Germany in exchange for the strategical goods in 1944 the experimental production was carried out. It is the rocket fighter that there are only 2 machine types in the world.

Basically, it was almost going to mass-produce Me163 as it is. A drawing was caused from 1 sheet of caricature, because the submarine that loaded a blueprint and various kinds data sank. It became to the fighter that resembled well with Komet as a result of this.
It was defeat dark time. Also the early battle stationing was hoped on 1st as the interceptor of high-level ultra large bomber B-29. Thus, the development was advanced as the land navy joint fighter. The body a navy/Mitsubishi chestnut, an army/Mitsubishi chestnut took charge of the rocket engine.
The rocket engine "Toku-RO 2 go" (KR10) was the thing of the kind that is called a so-called Walter rocket and caused to react hydrogen peroxide water and Hydragin/methanol solution. It injected the gas of the high temperature high pressure that occurred. The biggest thrust prided in 1500 Kg.
However, there was the danger that explodes when I give a vibration. Furthermore explosion and, shot of when that touch down also in head house Germany hit, because it is the strong fuel medicine of corrosiveness and there was absurdity fairly in application itself including the event that has melted, in the case that a hole opened to the fuel tank the pilot who took on the solution for that.

On July 7, in 1945 the first test flight of the 1st machine was carried out by the Inuzuka navy lieutenant, in the navy Yokosuka air fleet Oppama airfield.
At 16:55 I ignited the engine. Eleven seconds later gliding 320 meters it takes off. Having the angle of 45 degrees that drop a wheel with 10 advanced meters it entered into zoom. However, advanced it is the end, stoppage of an engine bad condition in neighborhood 350 meters. I tried it to turn back in the airfield. It stalls because it caused it to avoid houses. It made an emergency landing on the edge of the west of an airfield. the pilot died in next morning.

The fuel pipe, that the cause of the crash is a foolish reason and was attached to the fuel tank was attached like a usual airplane. Therefore, first of all fuel approach the back with an urgent acceleration and zoomed up. Therefore fuel does not fall to a fuel pipe. It was because it became gas absence condition so to speak.
Promptly I reviewed the fuel plumbing from the tank. While the engine for the number 3 machine is set up it became an end of the war.
The pilot of the number 3 machine is said to have been a Sakai Saburo second lieutenant to "the SAMURAI".
Furthermore the army glides and a/the number 2 machine be damaging during a test and flight is not doing.

It was getting defeated to the war. Therefore, the mass production command was sent to a fearful case in spite of during experimental production. One thousand three hundred machine overcoats should be manufactured by September, 1945. However, 5 machine only completed it to the end of the war in fact.
Also glider style "Akikusa" (MXY7), that removed an engine and fuel tank etc. as the trainer the inclusion 6 machine even the test machine was produced.

I was expected when power is demonstrated to a high-level heavy bomber interception not to mention B-29, with the heavy armaments called the speed and climbing power, 30 milliliter machine gun 2 that excelled, when Syusui was mass-produced.
The fighter that fuel is able to flatter "Komet" of front that runs out, in the war service in Germany did not exist at that time. Also the sight does not catch up with the speed of a speed even the interception machine gun of the bomber. Almost shooting down was impossible like this.
Because of this an input early period raised great success in battle.A return rate fell all at once, when it comes to be attacked the condition where fuel attaches and be a glider. Furthermore, the accident of when that touches down frequently occurred. Therefore, the exhaustion of a pilot becomes remarkable. Gradually it stopped becoming a military power.
