Kawanishi Aircraft: Dreamers in the service of the IJN

  • Do you know how the Japanese aircraft industry was created? It was all about big industrial and financial conglomerates creating aircraft manufacturing branches, then adding design bureaus to them, finding suppliers and service partners etc. It was all very orderly, with very little room for rogue agents, dreamers or crazy ambitious schemes... but the Kawanishi aircraft company clearly didn’t get the memo. Founded by a bunch of geeks, this manufacturer proved to be extremely flexible: the history of the company is full of twists and turns, with many events that were simply not supposed to happen in the brutal market governed by big industrial conglomerates.

    There's some misinformation here.
    5:45 The "Jinpu" is not related to the float plane "Kyofu". Jinpu was a completely new land based interceptor developed on request from the IJN as a contestor of the 17th Land based fighter project.
    It initially rolled out as J3K1 with a Mitsubishi engine which turned out to be under powered, and so some redevelopment happened to fit a more powerful Nakajima engine.
    By the time work was even started, the land based fighter derivation of Kyofu (i.e. the N1K) was well underway and was proving to be on schedule so the Jinpu was cancelled.
    Jinpu was later proposed as an interceptor for later fighter requirements with increased payload and a new engine. The final derivation of Jinpu was the J6K which competed for a high altitude fighter requirement, but lost to the competition and never came to be.
    Also, the N1K1-J Shiden and the improved N1K2 were both proposed by Kawanishi to the Navy before being requested to do so, but the Navy never told off the engineers to work on existing aircraft. They were simply worried about the lack of experience in development of land based fighters in Kawanishi, so they held several meetings with them to assess their proposals. In the end, they gave the project a go sign.
    Additionally, contrary to the belief that the N1K2-J is just a low wing modification of the N1K1-J, major redesigns to the fuselage, and wing interior meant that it almost became a different aircraft. The fuselage was narrower to optimize for the new Nakajima engine, tail sections were redesigned and whilst the wing shape and planform stayed the same, the wing structure was redesigned to accommodate two 20mm cannons internally and fit the new shorter landing gear.
