	Mitsubishi A7M Reppu (Sam)
		To resolve the problem, Mitsubishi replaced the Nakajima NK92 Homare 22 engine with a new Mitsubishi MK9A radial engine, making it possible to build seven A7M prototypes and service trials aircraft, the first prototype being flown on October 13, 1944.
		Clearly, the A7M was the kind of potent fighter that could meet Allied opposition on equal terms, with a new maximum speed of 391 mph (630 km/h) at optimum altitude.
		Although the A7M was never used in war, it was still one of the fastest and most powerful Japanese fighters.

	Mitsubishi A7M Reppu
		The Mitsubishi A7M Reppu (Hurricane) single-seat carrier-based fighter was intended by the famous aircraft designer Jiro Horikoshi to be the successor to the A6M Zero-sen fighter.
		Work on the A7M1 proceeded relatively slowly at Mitsubishi, since higher priority had to be given to later versions of the A6M and the J2M.

		Since the J2M Raiden interceptor and the A7M Reppu carrier-based fighter programs had run into delays, the Japanese Navy had no alternative but to continue with progressive developments of the Reisen, which was by now thoroughly outclassed by more modern Allied warplanes.
		In addition, the excellent maneuverability and good climbing performance of the Zero Fighter had been achieved to a certain extent at the expense of the omission of armor protection for the pilot, which became more and more of a serious problem as the war continued.
		Production of the Model 52B began at Mitsubishi's 3rd airframe plant in April of 1944, and 470 fighters of this type were built.

		During World War II, the company was a major manufacturer of military aircraft, such as the high performance Zero naval fighter.
		There are now three distinct companies, all based in Tokyo: Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd.

	Mitsubishi A7M Reppu / SAM - fighter
		The design by Mitsubishi of a carrier-based fighter to supersede the A6M Zero-Sen had been planned by the Japanese navy as early as 1940, but was frustrated, by the company's involvement in urgent development and- production programmes.
		It was not until 1942 that design of the M-50 Reppu (hurricane) began, but the continuing pressure on Mitsubishi for developments of the ABM meant that it was not until 6 May 1944 that the first prototype, which by then had the company designation Mitsubishi A7M1, was flown for the first time.
		Further testing was abandoned until availability of the 1641kW Mitsubishi MK9A radial engine made it possible to build seven A7M2 prototype and service trials aircraft, the first prototype being flown on 13 October 1944.

		The Zero was the principal Japanese naval fighter throughout the war, participating in all carrier actions, beginning with Pearl harbor.
		Produced by the Mitsubishi and, subsequently, Nakajima aircraft companies, the low-wing, single engine aircraft had excellent maneuverability, speed and range.
		However, the lack of armor or bulletproof windscreen for the pilot, and unprotected fuel tanks ment that a Zero that was hit was often killed.

	Schofields News - October 2007
		Again the project was delayed by Mitsubishi's preoccupation with modifications to the current Zero and the J2M Raiden fighters and as a result it would be another two years before the new fighter would make an appearance.
		Mitsubishi calculated that to achieve specification requirements, the aircraft would need to be powered by a 2,200 hp Mitsubishi MK9A or 9B radial engine but the navy insisted that the aircraft be powered by a 1,990 hp Nakajima NK9K Homare 22 engine, the performance of which steadily dropped off with gain in altitude.
		Mitsubishi A7M Reppu Against Mitsubishi's better judgement this engine was fitted and the first prototype A7M1 was completed in the spring of 1944.

		Work was stopped on the 3rd-6th prototypes while the Mitsubishi engine was installed in the 6th airframe.
		Thanks to the larger engine, the forward airframe had to be redesigned and in October 1944, the A7M2 made it maiden flight.

	Mitsubishi A6M Zero-Sen
		The response from the Mitsubishi design team, led by Jiro Horikoshi was a monoplane that had a cantilever low-wing layout, having an enclosed cockpit and a retractable landing gear as well as being constructed almost entirely of metal.
		In the event, the Imperial Japanese Navy selected the Mitsubishi design for production indicating the prevalent philosophy of Japanese military aviation at the time that what mattered most in a fighter was agility over performance.
		The final variant, the A6M8c was an attempt by Mitsubishi to extend the capabilities of the Zero, which by 1945 was already obsolete.

		Development of the Raiden began in October 1938, with formal preliminary discussions between Jiro Horikoshi of Mitsubishi and members of the JNAF's technical staff, but the project remained in limbo for almost a year, as Horikoshi and his team were busy working on the A6M Zero.
		The Ki-43 is often confused with its contemporary, the famed Mitsubishi A6M Reisen (Zero Fighter) of the Japanese Navy, and was often misidentified as a "Zero" early in the war.
		As compared to the Mitsubishi A6M2 Reisen, the Ki-43-Ic had a substantially lower wing loading but was nevertheless slightly inferior to the carrier-based fighter in overall maneuverability.

		Designers felt it would be easier to modify the Kyofu design rather than to start from scratch and except fot the redesigned wing to hold the landing gear and a tailwheel the N1K1 Shiden was almost identical to the Kyofu.
		The Japs were losing air superiority and were desperate to find a good fighter since the Zero's replacement, the A7M Reppu was not forthcoming.
		And although Mitsubishi responded with the A7M as a suitible replacement, to cover all bases the IJNAF issued additional specifications in 1940, and again in 1941, calling for a heavily armed fighter capable of certain climb, speed and armament requirements.

	WW2 Warbirds: the Mitsubishi A6M Reisen Allied codename 'Zeke' or 'Zero Fighter' - Frans Bonné
		The Mitsubishi A6M is probably the most famous warplane of the Japanese air forces of World War 2.
		It was intended that the A6M should be replaced by the Mitsubishi A7M Reppu, but this type was still under development and it was therefore necessary to keep the A6M in production.
		The opportunity was also taken to provide a slightly heavier armament by replacing one of the 0.303 in (7,7 mm) Type 97 machine guns in the upper part of the forward fuselage by a 0.52 in (13,2 mm) Type 3 machine gun.

		To confuse matters even further, a few types were known best by nicknames that had no official status.
		The Mitsubishi A6M fighter, also known as the Carrier-Borne Fighter Type 0, had the official Allied codename of "Zeke", but it went down in history under the unofficial nickname used by both sides: "Zero".
		The IJN also used a parallel system based on role description and year number, similar to (but independent of) the Army system.

		However, production of the Raiden was permitted to continue at a reduced pace until the A7M Reppu (Hurricane) could be placed in production.
		The production of Raiden fighters by the Mitsubishi Jugogyo K K of all types totaled 476.
		The Raiden made its operational debut in September of 1944 over the Marianas during the Battle of the Philippine Sea, when a small number of Raidens had operated from Guam.

		One of the requirements to be legal for the class, is that the original craft flew combat between 1935 and 1945.

		Only three of the seven prototypes that were built remained in flying condition by the end of the Pacific War, and only one production aircraft had been completed.
