The Mitsubishi A6M Zero is a long-range fighter aircraft, manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and operated by the Imperial Japanese Navy from 1940 to 1945. The A6M was designated as the Mitsubishi Navy Type 0 Carrier Fighter (零式艦上戦闘機 rei-shiki-kanjō-sentōki?), or the Mitsubishi A6M Rei-sen. The A6M was usually referred to by its pilots as the "Reisen" (zero fighter), "0" being the last digit of the Imperial year 2600 (1940) when it entered service with the Imperial Navy. The official Allied reporting name was "Zeke", although the use of the name "Zero" was later commonly adopted by the Allies as well.
When it was introduced early in World War II, the Zero was considered the most capable carrier-based fighter in the world, combining excellent maneuverability and very long range.[1] The Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service ("IJNAS") also frequently used the type as a land-based fighter.
In early combat operations, the Zero gained a legendary reputation as a dogfighter,[2] achieving the outstanding kill ratio of 12 to 1,[3] but by mid-1942 a combination of new tactics and the introduction of better equipment enabled the Allied pilots to engage the Zero on generally equal terms.[4] By 1943, inherent design weaknesses and the failure to develop more powerful aircraft engines meant that the Zero became less effective against newer enemy fighters, which possessed greater firepower, armor, and speed, and approached the Zero's maneuverability. Although the Mitsubishi A6M was outdated by 1944, design delays and production difficulties of newer Japanese aircraft types meant that it continued to serve in a front line role until the end of the war. During the final years of the War in the Pacific, the Zero was also adapted for use in kamikaze operations.[5] During the course of the war, Japan produced more Zeros than any other model of combat aircraft.[6]
That is a A6M2 Type 0 Model 21 flown to Pearl Harbor in 1941.
This Aircraft is so legend it infiltrated modern US air defense system and flew over mainland USA.
Ah, the clean lines, the famed maneuverability, the endlessly fantastic A6M itself!!
One thing I did notice though is that this A6M was indeed painted with basic IJN camouflage, but with really no paint scheme on the rear fuselage and tail denoting what carrier it actually was flying off of. Was that just something the caretakers meant to not do??
I want them all! I want a P51, B109, Spitfire and This! A6M Zero! They’re all beautiful!!!!
Thank you for sharing the video. I assume this A6M is the one manufactured by Blayd Corporation, Carman Manitoba, Canada, from original Mitsubishi blueprints.
The airplane got a Canadian airworthiness certificate but I was wondering about its maneuverability. Now I am glad to see it is capable to do some aerobatics.
Thanks for posting. Great footage.
Why does the propeller spin so slow? The maneouvres ARE a Reisen (Zero) class performance, though:)
The camera is probably recording at 60 fps and the propeller is spinning close to 60 rpm
It's stress on the aircraft. Honestly it's amazing these things don't break in the air doing those rolls.
The camera shutter speed aligns with the propeller speed
consider yourself lucky that the propeller doesn't spin in the opposite direction :)
Yeah, it really looks that the propeller is absolutely useless on this one... I do not understand it too...
epic it must looks like that, where japanese attacking pearl harbour and you see the zeros flying...
i think a veteran had a bad feeling when he see a plane like this flying again over the usa
HUH?
Veterans aren't as soft hearted as you think.
Tenno Heika Banzai! Eternal glory to the celestial samurai!
shut up
#ZERO
Replica by the company blayd, not a real one
Oh, well... Good enough
+hussein team X I will say though, very good job by the company
Idk if there are many real ones left. A lot got destroyed.
There are 2 A6m zeros in flying conduction today
every country which fought in WWII claims to have had the most capable fighter aircraft at one point or another... LOL
マジで旋回速いな。当たらなければどうって事ないってか。
🇯🇵
Can this guy stop yapping so we can hear the engine?
hello jetmasher, I'm admin of the modelkitindo channel, I ask permission to hanging this video on my channel as a teaser, and I will enclose your channel name on the video and link in description ... thank you
White Zero♡
🤪👍😀👍😮👍😜👍😍👍
The white is navy and the green is army
Doesn't have the authentic engine.
Why do Japanese zeros Fly like that
?
Lightweight airframe. They were built for speed, to the point they had issues in the early types in having their control surfaces not respond. This also meant sacrificing pilot protection in having virtually no armoured cockpit.
toys airplane, one missile one airplane , Soviet no 1 💥
It suck the A6m5 is better than it
Its the A6m1 Zero
これ偽モンよ
しょうがない
