- Actual takeoff starts at 9:40
This is the final part.
The US-2 descends into the sea again, moves on the water, and keeps on starting and leaving.
US-2, which flew away and disappeared from view, seemed to have made several turns over Futami Bay.
Thank you for watching so many.

最終パートです。
US-2が再び海に降りて、水上を進んで、発進離水するまでを収めています。
飛び立って一度視界から消えたUS-2はその後も何度か二見湾上空を旋回していたようです。
沢山のご視聴ありがとうございました。

何度見てもUS2の滑走距離の短さには驚かされる。
Hi, a lot of people are commenting on the short take off. This is because US-2 is more unique than you even dreamed. It's a five engine active lift-augmented aircraft. 4 engines for propulsion, 4500 hp each, and one for active lift augmentation (also called Boundary Layer Control), 1300 hp. You can hear the lift-augmentation engine whining in the video, and you can see its intake/exhaust in the bulge at the wing root. This fifth engine runs a centrifugal fan (think 1300 hp leaf blower) to supply high pressure air to the flaps and also to the tail control surfaces of the aircraft. By blowing very high velocity air off these surfaces the coefficient of lift is doubled - US-1 achieves lift coefficient of 7. It can generate over twice the lift per unit wing surface of comparable size aircraft. Very high lift also keeps the wing small so the high speed performance is exceptional (for an amphibian, that is). Thanks to the low minimum flight speed, radically short take-off and very fast climb, the US-1 can operate in deep wave troughs of high seas. To my knowledge it's the only aircraft in the world operating today with such a system. I can imagine it must be horrifically expensive to build!
I was stationed in Iwakuni for many years. I loved watching the JMSDF practice water landings and takeoffs on the surrounding waters.
「滑水開始まだかな〜」と10秒ずつスキップしてたら、その10秒の間にもう滑水終わって離水しているという。
Przepiękny samolot. Japończycy umieją budować łodzie latające! Dziękuje za filmik. Pozdrowienia z Polski!

Thank you for these videos! The US-2 is such a phenomenal aircraft. The short takeoff run and initial climb rate are fantastic. The lift produced by those wings is amazing!
Thank you for the wonderful video! I love the US-1 and US-2 so much. They're proper flying boats, not float planes as we mostly get today. So I'm really happy Shin Meiwa keeps the spirit of flying boats alive with these beauties! Also, very impressive STO thanks to the boundary layer control system. Would love to see them over here in my country. Greetings from Germany!
Greetings from the USA! Amazing footage of an amazing plane. The sight of this plane taking off in a cloud of spray is breathtaking.
Shinmeiwa’s predecessor was Kawanishi. Kawanishi built the H8K flying boat, which had 50% more range then the current US-2. Its speed was also very good, being only 50 mph slower than the most modern example. Keep in mind that the H8K first flew in 1941, almost 80 years ago!
性能は最高傑作だと思います。何度見ても素晴らしく感動的です♪ 我が国には絶対必要な航空機です。
I know most would disagree, but there's really something beautiful about that plane! It's such a proud looking beast of an aircraft, and I was truly stunned by how little space it needed to take off! Thanks for the video :-)
That is a beautiful piece of machinery & engineering......
Once was a time when seaplane were about as common as land based ones. Nice to see that you can still find them.
very impressive and fast take off... love the shape of the US-2.
WOW, What a short take-off! That was really neat to see. Thank you.
こんな基地があったのにビックリ🤭‼️
フルスクリーンで拝見し、迫力のある動画に感動しました。水上での脚入れなども分かったし、回転中のプロペラがピタッと止まる現象もなく大変見やすかったです。
