	Japan Self-Defense Forces - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Japanese military is severely limited by Article 9 of the Japanese constitution that renounces force as a means of settling international disputes and prohibits the creation of an army, navy, and air force.
		Japan's USD $45.8 billion/year budget makes it the sixth largest military spender in the world, after the United States, People's Republic of China, Russia, United Kingdom and France.
		This controversial deployment marked a significant turning point in Japan's history as it is the first time since the end of World War II that Japan sent troops abroad except for a few minor UN peacekeeping deployments.

		However, Japan's exports of military technology and equipment continue to be constrained by the country's policy prohibiting exports of weapon systems or exclusively military technology.
		Japan is to provide technical outlines on non-derived technologies with sufficient information to enable the United States to determine their value and usefulness.
		Japan's decreasing military procurement budget has led some industry representatives to consider asking the Japanese government to relax its ban on exporting military systems and components to the United States.

		To land on the carrier, incoming aircraft moving at 150 mph (240 km/h) are equipped with tailhooks to engage one of up to four arresting cables stretched across the deck, stopping the aircraft within 320 feet (100 m) after engaging a cable.
		Aircraft carriers are generally accompanied by a number of other ships, to provide protection for the relatively unwieldy carrier, to carry supplies, and to provide additional offensive capabilities.
		Aircraft which had already landed would be parked on the deck at the bow end of the flight deck.

	Fighter aircraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		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.
		They then found themselves being converted to an ever-growing list of secondary roles, including strike fighters, bomber destroyers and night fighters, where their two engines gave them the increased payload needed to fill these roles.
		Fighter aircraft were developed during World War I, when they were tasked with hunting down enemy reconnaissance aircraft and balloons.

		Control of the sky, or air superiority, had become a vital part of military doctrine, notably in the case of the blitzkrieg.
		French aviator Roland Garros became the first flying "ace" (a pilot who shoots down five or more enemy aircraft) when he affixed machine guns to his aircraft (Morane-Saulnier Type L) which fired through the propeller, although he used crude metal deflector plates (the bullets hit the propeller but were deflected aside) rather than interrupter gear.
		Dutch aircraft designer Anthony Fokker developed the first interruptor for the machine gun, which prevents bullets from hitting the propeller of the aircraft.

	Asia Times Online - The trusted news source for information on Japan
		Japan is not known for making bold, radical moves on military and foreign-policy issues, but over the past several months there have been signs that it is contemplating modifying one of its sacrosanct policies: the prohibition on the export of weapons, or any hardware or technology that could be defined as having a military purpose.
		The current ban, in place since 1967 in the administration of prime minister Eisaku Sato, is a result of Japan's constitution, which renounces "war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes", as well as an earlier parliamentary decree from the 1960s.
		Japan has adhered to guidelines prohibiting arms exports to communist states and countries subject to any embargo under United Nations Security Council resolutions, as well as those involved in or likely to be involved in international conflicts.

		The Japanese military acquired their first aircraft in 1910 and followed the development of air combat during World War One with great interest.
		The elite of the pilots were the carrier-based Air Corps (kokutai, later called koku sentai) whose size (from a handful to 80 or 90 aircraft) was dependent on both the mission and type of aircraft carrier that they were on.
		There were usually for sections in each division, each section or shotai had 3 or 4 aircraft and by mid 1944 it was common for a shotai to have 4 aircraft.

		Depending on one's frame of reference, one can reasonably assert that World War II began with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931, or as late as the last declarations of war between the United States and Germany in December 1941.
		Quite a bit occurred during this time to escalate technological conflict, most notably the upgrading and deployment of aircraft carriers by the U.S. and Japan in the Pacific, and invention of carrier-type aircraft such as the Mitsubishi Zero, largely considered the best plane of its time.
		Fighters and bombers were launched from aircraft carriers from the sea and from island airstrips on certain islands like Guadalcanal and Midway.

	F-15 Eagle - Military Aircraft
		Low wing-loading (the ratio of aircraft weight to its wing area) is a vital factor in maneuverability and, combined with the high thrust-to-weight ratio, enables the aircraft to turn tightly without losing airspeed.
		Saudi Arabia has purchased a total of 62 F-15C and D aircraft and later procured the F-15S, which is a two-seater aircraft based on the F-15E airframe, with downgraded avionics, downgraded LANTIRN pods, and a simplified Hughes APG-70 radar without computerised radar mapping.
		Japan has purchased and produced a total of 223 air-to-air F-15 known as the F-15J, assembled in Japan from largely indigenously manufactured sub-assemblies and equipment.

		Fighter aircraft were developed during World War I, and used to hunting down enemy reconnaissance aircraft and balloons.
		Interceptor aircraft often sacrificed agility and payload in favor of speed and rate of climb.
		Since guided missiles were seen to be the wave of the future, many fighters of this period lacked gun amament and the manouverability needed to dogfight.

		The modern aircraft at the front of the museum might be on permanent static display, but nothing is further from the truth for the classic warbirds parked inside and out on the back apron.
		The official USAF museum in Dayton, Ohio, is the world's premier military aircraft museum, with oodles of historically significant aircraft from the beginnings of air power in the United States up to the present day.
		Like most Vietnamese military museums, there's the usual collection of shot-down American military hardware on display inside, but another surprising part of the collection outside is various American aircraft which were captured at the end of the war then repainted in Vietnamese Air Force colors and used operationally, probably until parts ran out for them.

		The initial problem with this was that Carrier-based aircraft did not have the range to strike Japan from a distance that would keep their home ship out of range from a counter attack.
		Each aircraft was still defended by a single nose gun and a twin.50 machine gun mounted in the upper rear fuselage.
		The original plan had called for the aircraft to be launched just before dark so that they could arrive and make their bomb runs at night when it was hardest for the Japanese to defend themselves.

		During 1986, by which time the momentum in Japan for domestic development had become quite strong, DOD began a more aggressive push for the FS-X to be based on an existing U.S. design.
		The U.S. conceived the joint improvement of an existing aircraft, with a priority on ensuring "flowback" of Japanese technology based on know-how transferred by the United States.
		The clarification exercise threw into sharp relief the contrast between the contentious divisions over Japan policy in the United States and the much more united front—albeit with some bureaucratic infighting—that Japan presents to the United States in bilateral negotiations.
