Topic: Kawanishi H6K


In the News (Sat 22 Nov 08)

  
 The Kawanishi H6K "Mavis" & H8K "Emily" Flying Boats (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.tamu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Kawanishi replied with a new design, the "Type S", that had been evolved from the two earlier submissions.
The Type S was accepted, and the first of four prototypes of the "H6K1", as the IJN referred to it, performed its initial flight on 14 July 1936, with Katsuji Kondo at the controls.
The H6K remained in transport service to the end of the war, and a few were apparently used in Indonesia for a few years after the conflict.

 Kawanishi H6K
The H6K was developed by the Japanese Navy to meet the need for a high-performance flying boat.
The Kawanishi H6K, nicknamed "Mavis" by the allies, was proposed to meet the specified requirements of 137 mph cruising speed and a 2,795 mile range.
Being extremely vulnerable to allied fighter aircraft, the H6K was assigned duties in areas where little or no allied air activity was present.

 Axis History Factbook: Kawanishi H6K & H8K
World War II was the great age of the big military flying boat, producing famous aircraft such as the American PBY and the British Sunderland.
With the introduction of the far more combat-worthy H8K, the H6K was withdrawn from front-line operations and used as a military transport.
The H8K flying boat was conceived in 1938 as a replacement for the Mavis, even as the H6K was going into service.

Die Kawanishi H6K war Japans erstes viermotoriges Mehrzweckflugboot in moderner Ganzmetallbauweise.
Entworfen wurde sie 1935 unter Auswertung der Erfahrungen mit britischen Short- und deutschen Rohrbach- Lizenzbauten; der Erstflug fand am 14.
Einige H6K flogen mit spezieller Funkausrüstung auch als Kommandeurs- und Führungsflugzeuge.

This document provides a quick history of the Mavis and Emily, plus notes on the "Aichi H9A" seaplane, produced as a trainer for the Emily.
It was a neat prev7ndotcom flying boat design of metal construction, with some similarities to the US Consoldiated PBY Catalina, but arguably more attractive and certainly bigger.
The H6K remained in transport service to the end of the v7ndotcom, and a few were apparently used in Indonesia for a few years after the conflict.

One H6K4 was converted to be the prototype, and it was followed by 36 production H65Ks, the last being produced in 1942.
H6K1 - 3 converted from Type S prototypes.
It does not seem that any have survived to this day.
