	Encyclopedia: Fighter aircraft
		A fighter aircraft is a military aircraft designed primarily for attacking other aircraft, as opposed to a bomber, which is designed to attack ground targets, primarily by dropping bombs.
		The Bell Aircraft Corporation was an aircraft manufacturer of the United States, a builder of several types of fighter aircraft for World War II but most famous for the Bell X-1, the first supersonic aircraft, and for many types of helicopters.
		Aircraft engine manufacturers This list of aircraft is sorted alphabetically, beginning with the name of the manufacturer (or, in certain cases, designer).

	V-1 flying bomb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		By mid-August 1944, the threat was all but overcome — not by aircraft, but by the sudden arrival of two enormously effective electronic aids for anti-aircraft guns, both developed in the USA by the Rad Lab: radar-based automatic gunlaying, and above all, the proximity fuse.
		The Aeronautical Institute of Tokyo Imperial University and the Kawanishi Aircraft Company conducted a joint study of the feasibility of mounting a similar engine on a piloted plane.
		The Kawanishi Baika never left the design stage but technical drawings and notes suggest that two versions were under consideration: an air-launch version with the engine mounted under the fuselage, and a ground-launch version that could take off without a ramp.

	The Shin Meiwa PS-1 / US-1 & Harbin SH-5 Flying Boats
		The Kawanishi company was resurrected in 1949 as "Shin Meiwa", in the relatively humble role of a service company that overhauled American, and later Japanese, military and civil aircraft.
		The aircraft's hull was extensively modified, and the Albatross's conventional tail was replaced by a tee tail.
		The aircraft is a pure seaplane, though it does have built-in beaching gear roughly similar to that of the PS-1.

	H8k2
		The H8K flying boat was conceived in 1938 as a replacement for the Kawanishi H6K / Type 97 (later known as "Mavis" to the Allies), which represented an earlier generation of flying boat design.
		The H8K was built by Kawanishi Kokuki Kabushiki Kaisha (The Kawanishi Aircraft Company Limited), established in November 1928 with its factory being located at Naruo Mukogun Hyogoken near Kobe.
		The 'Emily' was a high-wing aircraft with a deep, stepped fuselage; four radial engines were fitted in the wings and the aircraft had large, fixed stabilizing floats.

	US-1 / PS-1
		A characteristic of this aircraft is that its superior performance permits it to land on rough seas and continue its rescue activities.
		The JMSDF possesses rescue amphibian, US-1A for the maritime rescue operations, rescue helos for the aerial rescue in the vicinity of the air-base, and submarine rescue vessel for rescuing submarines.
		The aircraft is fitted with a T-tail unit, retractable beaching chasis, a single-step hull, and wing-mounted stabilizing floats.

	V-1 flying bomb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		It was powered by an Argus pulse jet engine providing 2.9 kN (660 lbf) of thrust for a top speed of 630 km/h (390 mph) and a range of around 250 km (150 mile) later 400 km (250 mile).
		When the V-1 raids began, the only effective direct defense was interception by a handful of very high performance fighter aircraft, in particular the Hawker Tempest.
		By mid-August 1944, the threat was all but overcome—not by aircraft, but by the sudden arrival of two enormously effective electronic aids for anti-aircraft guns, both developed in the USA by the Rad Lab: radar-based automatic gunlaying, and above all, the proximity fuse.
