If the Japanese had an engine that could power these props I’m guessing it was also still on the drawing board. Range shown is also unlikely or impossible - 1943 proposals to attack Japan with the similar B-36 required using Hawaii or closer as the takeoff point. Likewise I’m curious where the Japanese escort fighters are supposed to be coming from (carriers?).
The escort fighters are there to protect the bombers as they climb to High altitude. Once the bombers get to 48,000 ft and are out of range of the Escort, the bombers are on their own until they reach Nazi occupied France. Even if the Japanese did have aircraft carriers on the coast of california somehow (if they neutralized the United States Pacific fleet and we're preparing for invasion) those G10N bombers would probably already be at 48,000 ft and no US aircraft at the time could reach that altitude (Maybe the P-80 Shooting Star could. Idk). The only thing the US would have to take down those Japanese bombers was the M1 120mm gun. It could fire shells into the stratosphere (No joke. It actually says that it did. It's AA shells could reach up to 80,000 ft).
I like that bird. Love the counter rotating props. I'm going to research more about this bomber after the vid. Looks like a C46/B29/Spruce goose hybrid.
I wondered about the engines and propellers chosen for this hugely complex bomber. The British and the Russians seemed to be the only designers able to make reliable counter-rotating propellers. And did any suitably powerful engines actually exist in Japan? It took about 3 years for the engines of the B-29 to mature, and even then overheating remained a nagging problem.
The a Japanese made good radial engines and had developed effective turbo superchargers. This is the Wikipedia page for the engine. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakajima_Ha219 At 2500hp it had the same or better power than the early R3350 but being smaller had less development potential and would have cruised slower.

The war was lost but in 1942 for Japan. Didn't have industry and men power to defeat allies. Japan's greatest Admiral Yamamoto knew it. He warned the government not to support Germany and Italy governments and not to go to war with the USA. It all dream or fantasy.
Yea it’s true.. But we'd all have done the same. No one accepts de facto inferiority, without at least fighting to be the only full master of their own historical destiny. You have to know that if it hadn't been Pearl Harbor (the consequence of the unbearable blockade for Japan), it would have been another casus belli... In any case, the United States had long since set its sights on the Pacific. Ever since Admiral Perry. But US circles had to sign up to the geostrategic necessities of capital's expansion dynamic, and without the imperialist wars they've been waging since the beginning of the 20th century, their model would have collapsed... It's all part of the survival strategies and internal contradictions inherent to this system, just as other systems have theirs. But it has to be said that, at present, unlike Europe, Japan has not fared too badly under the new order that has subjugated it.
halowraith1 The big allied bombers had very little effect on the outcome of the war, and suffered great losses. You will find most military historians and experts agree on that.
When aircraft is large with wing area of 1/2 acre , up or downwind hardly matters , unless landing in hurricane or on short runway. Now crosswinds are something else. Steong Crosswind landing or T/O with asymmetric weight distribution could be a problem as any bank of aircraft exposes more wing area to crosswind.
If tree fighters make a pass from 2 or 4 o'clock and hit the same place at the wing root then there will be a big wing with 3 engines that cant find back to it's bomber. The wing loading here must be huge.
Man oh man, she is pretty, it's been a fair while since I flew in '46, how's the old site going, i.e; SAS? ..what gfx was used for the engines? ..seems to be like Bristol's with the baffle like seperators - are they to represent the propeller gearbox bracing webs?
The Japanese certainly had the engineering capability, often modeled after the Germans, but lacked natural resources to meet their capabilities…that is the main reason for their Pacific expansion goals…they needed iron and oil.
Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan and Facist Italy all had the chance and opportunity to develop a long range strategic bomber before WW2 began. All three had at least one person who had seen the need for such a bomber. But in the end all three nations ended up building twin engine light as well as twin engine medium bombers.
This bomber would be more of a nightmare reality if it was a seaplane with an aircraft carrier as a seaplane tender in the middle of the pacific during world war 11. It would have had the range and bomb load to wreck confusion on the mainland for the American carrier task force to be diverted for coastal defences.

At most they could have built perhaps 100 of these machines for a one way suicide mission. The American industrial output was not concentrated. Such a bombing mission would be like shooting spit balls at an elephant.
It certainly wasn't designed as a kamikaze weapon. Instead it banked upon extremely efficient engines, eastern trade-winds, the curvature of the earth, and enormous fuel capacity. With a bomb load over five times a B-17 and an estimated max speed over 400 miles an hour, this was a formidable, yet lofty, endeavor. The theoretical G10 had a range over 12,000 nautical miles. A lofty goal indeed! But the idea was to depart from northern Japanese islands, use it's incredible range to bomb several U.S. targets, and then continue on to German-occupied France. There it would refuel and re-arm for another flight back to Japan. And, of course, there were Japanese Navy and Army variants of this monumental project.
@@tempestfury8324 I wonder what their plan was for crossing the Soviet Union, which by this point had pretty much expelled all Axis forces from its territory!
Hairy take-off. Barely made it airborne. Certainly one of the war's most lovely designs. How about those counter-rotating props! They were only part of the Fugaku's advanced, original concept for the Imperial Japanese Army's Project Z, that owed nothing to the American "Superfortress". To save weight, some of the landing gear was to be jettisoned after takeoff, being unnecessary on landing with emptied bomb load, not depicted in this excellent video. Flying an amazingly fast 484 mph at 32,808 feet, she would have been difficult to intercept. Her four 20-mm cannons were insufficient, but the Fugaku's chief defense lay in a service ceiling of 49,000 feet, beyond the reach of P-51 Mustangs. Head of the company bearing his name, Chikuhei Nakajima's inter-continental bomber was inspired by 1942's Doolittle raid on Tokyo and the consequent need to hit back at the American homeland; planing began that summer. Six months later, in January 1943, designing and development were initiated, good progress was made, but, starting in spring, other, more immediately pressing priorities in homeland interceptors increasingly drained away engineers and materials. Work on the G.10N was nonetheless carried forward with serious intent until July 1944, when Project Z was abruptly canceled after the Fugaku's raison d'être was lost with Allied seizure of German airbases on west-coastal France, following the Normandy Invasion. The G.10N's original purpose included taking off from the Kuril Islands to bomb industrial targets across the U.S., particularly San Francisco, Detroit, Chicago, Wichita, New York and Norfolk --- then continue on eastward across the North Atlantic to land at Bordeaux and other French airfields operated by the Luftwaffe. Following re-fuelling and re-arming, the Fugaku would re-cross the North Atlantic to attack mainland American targets once again before returning to Japan. These exceptionally long-range missions would have been accommodated by the huge Nakajima bomber's 12,055-mile range. Just a single example of this prodigious aircraft, with its 44,092-pound payload, could have caused at least some damage to American industrial out-put, but, even more significantly impacted U.S. morale and forced the withdrawal of enemy forces from the Pacific Theater to protect California, Texas, New York, et al. Conclusion: The Japanese military authorities need not have mass-produced the Fugaku before deploying it, but instead required no more than half a dozen specimens of this type for exerting a powerful influence on the course of World War Two, all out of proportion to their tiny numbers.
Thank god Japan just didn't have enough materialistic and monetary resources to complete this project in 1944. Japan, I believe, certainly had brains and technological ingenuity. If anyone had a viable chance to actually build Fugoku-caliber bombers back then, Japan could very well have been the one. Imagine the formations of huge bombers flying and dropping bombs over Manhattan. Surreal... Just my opinion.
Yamamoto should have picked that before his one way trip to Bougainville... Oh I forgot a couple rounds from the P38 .50 caliber rounds would have knocked that down too.
.50 caliber is useful to destroy enemy fighters, but to heavily damage a large bomber in a split of a second you need 20 mm oder 30 mm cannons. Figure out, how many .50 hits you will need to destroy a B-17. "A couple" wouldn't do it.
They would have been shot down before they could do any real damage,gotta have long range fighter escort which they didn’t have. Beautiful design though.
1.) Steven's fault. Poor takeoff technique (rotation was way too early) and he forgot to pick RATO boosters which are recommended for that total weight. 2.) Sounds like clipping from overmodulation.
Fuel range on such a beast is all well and good, but the sheer number of aircraft, hundreds, thousands, TENS of thousands, needed in order to make any practical dent would be beyond the resources of a struggling Japan and Germany alike ("Amerikabomber" program for the latter). The day's conventional bombing technology and tactics were so horrendous by today's standards that it was necessary to field HUNDREDS, sometimes as many as over 1,000 bombers on single missions to take out single industrial plants. ruclips.net/video/HpiZTvlWx2g/видео.html Here is a story about the famous Norden bombsight, top secret to the Americans, that they spent $1.5 billion in 1940 dollars (about 25 billion today), HALF as much as the enormous Manhattan Project (nuclear bomb) at $3 billion (about 50 billion today). It was considered the best technology at the time, but was still so inaccurate, especially given practical wartime conditions, that it resulted in COMPLETE failures of these bombing runs of hundreds, sometimes over 1,000 bombers per mission. This statistic is that for the 757-acre Leuna chemical plant, 85,000 Allied bombs were dropped over the course of 22 missions, and only an aggregate 10% actually landed within the gates of this 757-acre target. 16% of those 10% (over 1,000, then) didn't even go off, leaving duds that still pose a hazard and sometimes kill EOD crew in Europe today. "Leuna bombing from May 12, 1944 to April 5, 1945 cost the Eighth Air Force 1,280 airmen. In three separate attacks by the Eighth, 119 planes were lost and not one bomb fell on the Leuna works." Meanwhile, only 201 workers were killed to the loss of 1,280 American airmen alone, not even counting the British losses. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leuna_works And then this plant, once actually damaged, was up and running again within weeks. The Germans had their own version of the bombsight, and the Japanese were seeking the technology as well while using their own cobbled contraption on their own bombers. Now as for cost, the significantly smaller American B-24 (18,000 built, most-produced bomber not only in USA, WW2, in the history of the entire world) cost $300,000 WW2/$5 million today dollars, the again smaller B-29 more than double that at $640,000 WW2/$10 million today dollars. In order to make any notable dent in US production, Japan would have had to field hundreds, seriously at least ten thousand of these. The West Coast of the USA already practiced night-time blackouts and air raid drills, which never came to fruition as Japan never got to building this impractical project.
This is very rough calculation. Given material strength of the day, aluminium, with few strategic places reinforced with stainless steel, given aircraft GW with fuel, payload. It would need a central fuselage landing gear to prevent structural damage during heavy takeoff and landing. Similar to Boeing 747 and Airbus 380. B-36 Peacemaker had a large load, but that so large and much its fuel was in wings.
Just a defunct Japanese Version of the Convair B-36, designed to carry on the war in Europe from the US should England fall to the Nazi. In the case of the B-36, it was actually built and served in the USAF as a long range nuclear capable bomber.
@Frank Cessna. Why I'm NOT surprised to see another comment down playing Japanese technology and over playing American one?... Let Me remind you that if Japan would be able to field such jet fighters as "Kika" and N7J2 Shinden then USAF would kiss all B 29 and Japan bombing Campaign good bye... And for the record... if England would fall to the third reich's hands then there won't be any war with USA because DOMINATED by pro German factions (lead by no one else than Kennedy senior) Congress would NEVER allow such in the first place... You will said... impossible... then let me remind you that in his speech at December 8 1941 Roosevelt ask for Declaration of War ONLY FOR JAPAN... and US joining war in Europe happen only thanks to Hitler's idiotic decisions to declare war to America... WHEN NO ONE ASKING HIM TO DO SUCH (especially not Japan and entire German forces HQ beg him to NOT acting in that direction knowing what disaster for German war plans America joining allies would bring).
@@asheer9114 "Let Me remind you that if Japan would be able to field such jet fighters as "Kika" and N7J2 Shinden then USAF would kiss all B 29 and Japan bombing Campaign good bye..." kikka was a dogshit version of the ME 262, the shinden if anything is a more realistic option and even then, wouldnt have been fielded in big enough numbers to matter to the bigger picture due to lack of japanese defensive measures on the home islands for the b-29. "And for the record... if England would fall to the third reich's hands then there won't be any war with USA because DOMINATED by pro German factions (lead by no one else than Kennedy senior) Congress would NEVER allow such in the first place..." The B-36 design period would have continued regardless, since for one, the XB-19 was more or less the ancestor to the B-36 and had already flown years before the invasion of poland took place and for two, all of america's enemies would have been thousands of miles away and the need for an aircraft capable of dealing with those threats with the least amount of help from other powers was recognized already
Mustangs and 38s would have ate up this bomber if it ever was produced. They did not have the expertise, material or factories to produce even one of these!
I disagree. Of all the Axis powers, Japan had the ability to produce first-rate aircraft and ships in quantity to match the U.S. at least in the short term. Why the didn't is a matter of the people forming their military strategy and deciding what to devote their industrial base to producing.
Japan did well with what they had for as long as they did. Their militaristic culture and training is what allowed them to match the US, not the quality of their weapons. The zero was obsolete in 1941, the US exposed it's weakness but not before well trained American pilots began entering the war in large numbers and japanese pilots were dying off in large numbers..
Imagine if the Germans had of developed their Me 264 and the Japanese their long range Bomber simultaneously. Both the US east coast and west coast could be attacked.
Probably it will yield better result supposed the German researched navalized v2 with atomic warhead.. Launched from a submarine.. Much in the form of what soviet's k-19 sub or north Korean sinpo class of ssb..
If they could deliver nuclear warheads as someone else said, maybe it could have influenced the war, but we would have brought down every one they sent- It would have been a one way trip.
@@spartanalex9006 I would argue than in 1945 as they were about to start their first reactor in Haigerloch they were 2 years away from an atomic bomb and had they have started in 1942 they could have made late 1945. The Germans discovered fission and in in early 1942 had the first subcritical reactor that made more neutrons than it consumed, ahead of fermi's pyle. Simply enlarging this "Leipzig sphere" (two concentric spheres of uranium with heavy water in between and a neutron source at the centre) would have lead to a self sustaining reactor as calculated by Klara Doppel. The Germans knew how to configure a reactor (Canadian Scientists were put in charge of examining the Germans methods and concluded they knew what they were doing), they had successfully enriched Uranium in ultracentrifuges producing 600mg enriched to a level of 6% and also by another device called a uranium sluice that formed the uranium into a beam that was chopped up by a sort of propeller blade and then the faster moving tips and tails of U235 removed. The ultra centrifuge was destroyed by bombing 3 times and had to be rebuilt 3 times showing how much their progress had been slowed down. In 1942 Albert Speer asked Heisenberg and Weisacker if an atomic bomb could be built in time to influence the war. The timeline they had was 6 months to a demonstration and 2 years for a deployable weapon. Heisenberg replied no and instead of being given 500 million Reichsmark Speer gave him 40 million and the program continued as a research program designed to produce a reactor after which a bombs might be developed. Heisenberg was right, the war was over for Germany before American had tested a bomb. In my view they should have tried but Heisenberg's heart was not 100% really in it. The analysis of the program is complicated by the German decision to use free heavy water moderator from captured electrolysis facilities of Norsk Hydro and not develop fractional distillation but indeed develop the more efficient and less vulnerable to bombing but time consuming Geibe process since this lead to sabotage delaying the delivery of heavy water and delays in the program. Certainly that decision not to proceed to industrialisation in 1942 meant that in 1945 they were still about 2 years away, as they were at the cusp of starting a reactor in 1945 at Haigerloch though it would have been less had the allied bombing campaign been less disruptive to their enrichment program.
why,.. the luftwaffe was tactical airforce never designed for strategic bombing that is why it failed as early as the 'Battle of Britain' . And nuclear physics was considered by Deutsche Physik nothing more than' juden physics '.
pas d'alternateur rien que des dynamos courant continu bonjour le poids du câblage, oscillateur pour monter en tension (radio, radar de l'époque), c'est pas le 400 v de maintenant
This really was a sucicide bomber. If they could have produced them and launched attacks against the West coast , they may have gotten there but none would have got back. Mustangs and P 38 s would have blown everyone of them out of sky.
How do you come up with the “suicide bomber” idea on the most advanced modern bombers? This 6 engine Bomber would have no problem to fly over North America and also has no difficulty to shooting down P-51, P-38 or any interceptor at high (thin air) altitude.
If the Japanese had an engine that could power these props I’m guessing it was also still on the drawing board. Range shown is also unlikely or impossible - 1943 proposals to attack Japan with the similar B-36 required using Hawaii or closer as the takeoff point. Likewise I’m curious where the Japanese escort fighters are supposed to be coming from (carriers?).
The escort fighters are there to protect the bombers as they climb to High altitude. Once the bombers get to 48,000 ft and are out of range of the Escort, the bombers are on their own until they reach Nazi occupied France. Even if the Japanese did have aircraft carriers on the coast of california somehow (if they neutralized the United States Pacific fleet and we're preparing for invasion) those G10N bombers would probably already be at 48,000 ft and no US aircraft at the time could reach that altitude (Maybe the P-80 Shooting Star could. Idk). The only thing the US would have to take down those Japanese bombers was the M1 120mm gun. It could fire shells into the stratosphere (No joke. It actually says that it did. It's AA shells could reach up to 80,000 ft).

Looks vaguely like a six-engined Republic "Rainbow".
Nice bombing run! Simply fly above the flak. Who knew? Lol By the time they zeroed in on your altitude,you were gone. Well done!
Front end looks B-52-ish. Rest heavily influenced by B-29? Nice work!
Do you heard about B-36?
Not at all, based on the G8N if anything
That massive giant could’ve made a one way trip from north west China to Germany if the plane was built and if the war went on longer
For a moment, I though this was a scene right out the anime The Magnificent Kotobuki, wuich has this plane as an antagonist plane.
しかし富岳と同じスペックのB-36が1946年に初飛行してるから、やっぱり米国との国力の違いは大きいね。
hey Steven, superb video! i'm just wondering where i can get that nice high altitude sky texture? from what mod?

@@Steven197106 thank you, much appreciated. Keep up the fantastic work!
15:35 i hate when this happens
Thank god Japan just didn't have enough materialistic and monetary resources to complete this project in 1944.
Japan, I believe, certainly had brains and technological ingenuity.
If anyone had a viable chance to actually build Fugoku-caliber bombers back then, Japan could very well have been the one.
Imagine the formations of huge bombers flying and dropping bombs over Manhattan. Surreal...
Just my opinion.
連山、深山、富嶽。日本爆撃機のロマン
うんこの俺から言わせてもらうと
その護衛機は、烈風とかですかねw
Literally a baby compared to japan's big boat plane that was never built because it was 69 meters taller than the statue of liberaty.
That ROOOOAAAARRR 😲
Yamamoto should have picked that before his one way trip to Bougainville... Oh I forgot a couple rounds from the P38 .50 caliber rounds would have knocked that down too.
.50 caliber is useful to destroy enemy fighters, but to heavily damage a large bomber in a split of a second you need 20 mm oder 30 mm cannons. Figure out, how many .50 hits you will need to destroy a B-17. "A couple" wouldn't do it.
@@martinmaier352 we are talking about Japanese bombers that burned very well
This giant Beast is more durable than H8K, so P38 would be out of ammo and half effective against G10N, this Bomber is like B36.
awesome plane.
They would have been shot down before they could do any real damage,gotta have long range fighter escort which they didn’t have. Beautiful design though.
Big plane!
Nearly went into the water. Also whats that crackling?
1.) Steven's fault. Poor takeoff technique (rotation was way too early) and he forgot to pick RATO boosters which are recommended for that total weight.
2.) Sounds like clipping from overmodulation.
Somebody's Pop-Corn in the Crew Compartment Micro-Wave is Ready.
Nice vid; great model 👍
Fuel range on such a beast is all well and good, but the sheer number of aircraft, hundreds, thousands, TENS of thousands, needed in order to make any practical dent would be beyond the resources of a struggling Japan and Germany alike ("Amerikabomber" program for the latter). The day's conventional bombing technology and tactics were so horrendous by today's standards that it was necessary to field HUNDREDS, sometimes as many as over 1,000 bombers on single missions to take out single industrial plants.
ruclips.net/video/HpiZTvlWx2g/видео.html
Here is a story about the famous Norden bombsight, top secret to the Americans, that they spent $1.5 billion in 1940 dollars (about 25 billion today), HALF as much as the enormous Manhattan Project (nuclear bomb) at $3 billion (about 50 billion today). It was considered the best technology at the time, but was still so inaccurate, especially given practical wartime conditions, that it resulted in COMPLETE failures of these bombing runs of hundreds, sometimes over 1,000 bombers per mission.
This statistic is that for the 757-acre Leuna chemical plant, 85,000 Allied bombs were dropped over the course of 22 missions, and only an aggregate 10% actually landed within the gates of this 757-acre target. 16% of those 10% (over 1,000, then) didn't even go off, leaving duds that still pose a hazard and sometimes kill EOD crew in Europe today.
"Leuna bombing from May 12, 1944 to April 5, 1945 cost the Eighth Air Force 1,280 airmen. In three separate attacks by the Eighth, 119 planes were lost and not one bomb fell on the Leuna works." Meanwhile, only 201 workers were killed to the loss of 1,280 American airmen alone, not even counting the British losses.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leuna_works
And then this plant, once actually damaged, was up and running again within weeks.
The Germans had their own version of the bombsight, and the Japanese were seeking the technology as well while using their own cobbled contraption on their own bombers.
Now as for cost, the significantly smaller American B-24 (18,000 built, most-produced bomber not only in USA, WW2, in the history of the entire world) cost $300,000 WW2/$5 million today dollars, the again smaller B-29 more than double that at $640,000 WW2/$10 million today dollars. In order to make any notable dent in US production, Japan would have had to field hundreds, seriously at least ten thousand of these. The West Coast of the USA already practiced night-time blackouts and air raid drills, which never came to fruition as Japan never got to building this impractical project.
私は連山が好きです！
This is very rough calculation. Given material strength of the day, aluminium, with few strategic places reinforced with stainless steel, given aircraft GW with fuel, payload. It would need a central fuselage landing gear to prevent structural damage during heavy takeoff and landing. Similar to Boeing 747 and Airbus 380. B-36 Peacemaker had a large load, but that so large and much its fuel was in wings.
The Japanese version of our B52. Plans look plausible from what I hear, just never got built.
@Joshua Ngau Ajang
Looks more like the equivalent of the B-36.
Just a defunct Japanese
Version of the Convair B-36, designed to carry on the war in Europe from the US should England fall to the Nazi. In the case of the B-36, it was actually built and served in the USAF as a long range nuclear capable bomber.
@Frank Cessna. Why I'm NOT surprised to see another comment down playing Japanese technology and over playing American one?...
Let Me remind you that if Japan would be able to field such jet fighters as "Kika" and N7J2 Shinden then USAF would kiss all B 29 and Japan bombing Campaign good bye...
And for the record... if England would fall to the third reich's hands then there won't be any war with USA because DOMINATED by pro German factions (lead by no one else than Kennedy senior) Congress would NEVER allow such in the first place...
You will said... impossible... then let me remind you that in his speech at December 8 1941 Roosevelt ask for Declaration of War ONLY FOR JAPAN... and US joining war in Europe happen only thanks to Hitler's idiotic decisions to declare war to America... WHEN NO ONE ASKING HIM TO DO SUCH (especially not Japan and entire German forces HQ beg him to NOT acting in that direction knowing what disaster for German war plans America joining allies would bring).

"Let Me remind you that if Japan would be able to field such jet fighters as "Kika" and N7J2 Shinden then USAF would kiss all B 29 and Japan bombing Campaign good bye..."
kikka was a dogshit version of the ME 262, the shinden if anything is a more realistic option and even then, wouldnt have been fielded in big enough numbers to matter to the bigger picture due to lack of japanese defensive measures on the home islands for the b-29.
"And for the record... if England would fall to the third reich's hands then there won't be any war with USA because DOMINATED by pro German factions (lead by no one else than Kennedy senior) Congress would NEVER allow such in the first place..."
The B-36 design period would have continued regardless, since for one, the XB-19 was more or less the ancestor to the B-36 and had already flown years before the invasion of poland took place and for two, all of america's enemies would have been thousands of miles away and the need for an aircraft capable of dealing with those threats with the least amount of help from other powers was recognized already
There was also a Ki-201 Karyù, about the same size as the Me 262
I find a lot of these aircraft on IL-2 are a 15 yr old boy engineering flite of fancy .
WHAT'S The IL2 1946 path
Japan would never have been able to build this plane.The scale was too much for Japan's war industry.They had no gasoline and natural resources.
Japan built 80.000 planes during in Pacific War time
Mustangs and 38s would have ate up this bomber if it ever was produced. They did not have the expertise, material or factories to produce even one of these!
I disagree. Of all the Axis powers, Japan had the ability to produce first-rate aircraft and ships in quantity to match the U.S. at least in the short term. Why the didn't is a matter of the people forming their military strategy and deciding what to devote their industrial base to producing.
Japan did well with what they had for as long as they did. Their militaristic culture and training is what allowed them to match the US, not the quality of their weapons. The zero was obsolete in 1941, the US exposed it's weakness but not before well trained American pilots began entering the war in large numbers and japanese pilots were dying off in large numbers..

Half of those bombs probably just landed in the water.
I guess much more than the half...for sure.
Biggest and longest Tarpet Bombing
Spectacular plane! Were any manufactured?
no
For this plane please?
Great bomber. It tops the B 29. Bye Hans.
it did not
japanese version of the TU95
Is a mix between a FW 200 Kondor and B 26....also limited power.
Imagine if the Germans had of developed their Me 264 and the Japanese their long range Bomber simultaneously. Both the US east coast and west coast could be attacked.
Probably it will yield better result supposed the German researched navalized v2 with atomic warhead.. Launched from a submarine.. Much in the form of what soviet's k-19 sub or north Korean sinpo class of ssb..
If they could deliver nuclear warheads as someone else said, maybe it could have influenced the war, but we would have brought down every one they sent- It would have been a one way trip.
@@agurjaunakThe big problem was that the Germans where almost 5 years from a working bomb and decades away from a rocket launched one.
@@spartanalex9006 I would argue than in 1945 as they were about to start their first reactor in Haigerloch they were 2 years away from an atomic bomb and had they have started in 1942 they could have made late 1945. The Germans discovered fission and in in early 1942 had the first subcritical reactor that made more neutrons than it consumed, ahead of fermi's pyle. Simply enlarging this "Leipzig sphere" (two concentric spheres of uranium with heavy water in between and a neutron source at the centre) would have lead to a self sustaining reactor as calculated by Klara Doppel. The Germans knew how to configure a reactor (Canadian Scientists were put in charge of examining the Germans methods and concluded they knew what they were doing), they had successfully enriched Uranium in ultracentrifuges producing 600mg enriched to a level of 6% and also by another device called a uranium sluice that formed the uranium into a beam that was chopped up by a sort of propeller blade and then the faster moving tips and tails of U235 removed. The ultra centrifuge was destroyed by bombing 3 times and had to be rebuilt 3 times showing how much their progress had been slowed down. In 1942 Albert Speer asked Heisenberg and Weisacker if an atomic bomb could be built in time to influence the war. The timeline they had was 6 months to a demonstration and 2 years for a deployable weapon. Heisenberg replied no and instead of being given 500 million Reichsmark Speer gave him 40 million and the program continued as a research program designed to produce a reactor after which a bombs might be developed. Heisenberg was right, the war was over for Germany before American had tested a bomb. In my view they should have tried but Heisenberg's heart was not 100% really in it. The analysis of the program is complicated by the German decision to use free heavy water moderator from captured electrolysis facilities of Norsk Hydro and not develop fractional distillation but indeed develop the more efficient and less vulnerable to bombing but time consuming Geibe process since this lead to sabotage delaying the delivery of heavy water and delays in the program. Certainly that decision not to proceed to industrialisation in 1942 meant that in 1945 they were still about 2 years away, as they were at the cusp of starting a reactor in 1945 at Haigerloch though it would have been less had the allied bombing campaign been less disruptive to their enrichment program.
@@WilliamJones-Halibut-vq1fs Good point, but a nuclear weapon light enough to be carried by a rocket is still almost a decade away.
Image if the Germans had developed their HORTEN 18 all wing (6 turbine) transatlantic steath bomber together with some thorium nuclear bombs.
why,.. the luftwaffe was tactical airforce never designed for strategic bombing that is why it failed as early as the 'Battle of Britain' . And nuclear physics was considered by Deutsche Physik nothing more than' juden physics '.
It looks like it would have worked
15:33 - how to say Woops in Nihongo.
18:55 - bomb drop.
holy shit
An aero engineer’s wet dream. Possible, maybe, if they had any resources and weren’t bankrupt.
Howard Hughes has something for that.
It goes 484 mph it's not acting that slow, I think it looks cool though the mission bye
護衛機５機くらい必要だから無駄
pas d'alternateur rien que des dynamos courant continu bonjour le poids du câblage, oscillateur pour monter en tension (radio, radar de l'époque), c'est pas le 400 v de maintenant
That bombing run could have gone alot better
Same to your comments.
With no long range fighter escort would it have been successful in it's mission ?
Its mission. Probably not so much without protection.
That applied to all Bombers allied or axis!!
15:37 oh shit what a Collison
Ta 400 next.
The pipe dream
Guti Maun? xD
Japan’s B-36
この機体の名前なんて読むの？

Never would have worked. Japanese didn't have the technology or the resources.
They certainly had the technology but not the resources.
この富嶽があれば、エンタープライズを轟沈させられたのに。
Gee, nose looks like it came from that of a B-52,
Like the Germans too little too late and worse CANCELLED
was hopping the p51 would engine this bomber. america fail
This really was a sucicide bomber. If they could have produced them and launched attacks against the West coast , they may have gotten there but none would have got back. Mustangs and P 38 s would have blown everyone of them out of sky.
Not at 48 angels friend.
How do you come up with the “suicide bomber” idea on the most advanced modern bombers?
This 6 engine Bomber would have no problem to fly over North America and also has no difficulty to shooting down P-51, P-38 or any interceptor at high (thin air) altitude.
Brilliant escort
