 Pacific Storm   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
To obtain desired flight performance, an advanced Nakajima "Homare" 18-cylinder twin-row radial powerplant rated at 2000 hp was selected for this large single-engined aircraft.
The order for the development of a strike aircraft comparable to the latest American “North American B-25 «Mitchell»” and “Martin B-26 «Marauder»” bombers and equipped with the same Nakajima «Homare» engine as B7A, was given to the 1-st Naval Technical Aviation Arsenal in Yokosuka at the end of 1940.
Production, including manufacturing of prototypes was planned at Nakajima's plant at Kaizume but because of engine delays, the first prototype was assembled only in August 1943.

 Nakajima C6N Myrt
The Nakajima C6N was started in early 1942 for an Imperial Japanese Navy requirement to develop a much needed long-range carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft.
As a result, the Homare 11 engine was replaced by a more powerful Homare 21 engine before the type was ordered introduction in early 1944 as the Navy Carrier Reconnaissance Plane Saiun (C6N1).
The Nakajima C6N is one of the less known, but definitely a very important fighter aircraft of the Imperial Japanese Navy.

One Nakajima NK9B Homare 11 eighteen-cylinder air-cooled radial, rated at 1,820 hp for take-off, 1,600 hp at 2,000 m and 1,500 hp at 6,500 m, driving a four-blade constant-speed metal propeller (17-Shi prototype).

 Nakajima G8N1 Renzan history   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
In February 1943 the Nakajima firm was directed to design a four-engine attack bomber, designated as one of Navy type "18-shi" experimental planes.
Handling was not a strong point of Nakajima planes; despite the large control surfaces the Renzan's steering response was slow and it was said to have a rather large turning radius.
The turbocharged "Homare" engine was basically a further development of the 14-cylinder "Sakae" (Glory) engine, and it was essentially the same engine as the army Ha-45 (Types 18 to 21) which was used in the Ki-84 "Hayate" fighter (there is one on display at Kagoshima Chiran).

 J5N1 Tenrai   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Nakajima designed the Tenrai as a high-performance interceptor but the experimental fighter never met its expected performance and the firm did not build any production airplanes.
The Japanese Army instructed Nakajima to develop a single-seat, twin-engine aircraft to meet requirements set fourth early in 1943.
Nakajima built only six prototypes (two were two-seat variants) before the program was cancelled.

 Nakajima Myrt
In the spring of 1942, Nakajima Hikoki K. received a new specification from the Naval Staff.
From the start, the Homare engine failed to generate the specified power at altitude and suffered other problems endemic to most new engines.
Nakajima created the C6N1-S by eliminating the observer and installing two oblique-firing 20 mm cannon in his place.

The early Homare engine failed to develop its rated power, the propeller torque during takeoff was excessive, and the visibility during taxiing was poor.
One Nakajima NK9H Homare 21 eighteen-cylinder air-cooled radial rated at 1990 hp for takeoff, 1825 hp at 5740 feet, 1625 hp at 20,015 feet.
Its Homare 21 engine was notoriously unreliable, and the complex doubly-retracting landing gear was subject to frequent failures.

Homare paid the bar tab as Shran and Shwarz lifted the limp Aya and carried her towards the door.
Homare, you have the 'conn." As Aya walked up from the bridge pit towards the doors and Homare took the center seat, Claire said, "Actually, Captain, the courier is being beamed over from the Washington." Aya paused, groaned, held her head in her hands.
The UFP diplomatic corps in general were none too happy with Ayami Nakajima, or her supreme commanding officer, at the moment.

Most of the production was carried out by Nakajima, but 94 examples were built by Mansyu.
The main assignement of the Frank in 1945 became the defense of the homeland against the strategic raids of the B-29.

 Notes on the Nakajima C6N1
Some time back, in view of the impending release of Hasegawa’s model of a Nakajima C6M1, a suggestion was made for the sharing of information on this plane.
Unlike earlier engines the Homare engine was not protected by the application of paint.

 Mitsubishi A7M Reppu (Sam)
However, the type’s maximum speed on the power of the installed Nakajima NK92 Homare 22 was way below specification, as Mitsubishi had predicted.
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.

Its big, nose-mounted cannon and twin.50-caliber guns more than made up for the limited punch of its four wing-mounted.30-caliber machine guns.
It was vulnerable to fighter attack, particularly when making a torpedo run.
The Nakajima B6N "Jill" was starting to replace it, but the "Kate" remained in service as a long-range reconnaissance and antisubmarine aircraft and in the kamikaze role.

Were the Nakajima Ki-43 and Kawasaki Ki-61 only used by Imperial Japanese Army from land bases, or did their Navy also use them from carriers?
The land base George was properly the N1K1-J, with the suffix letter indicating the change of type.
The biggest problem for the George was the Nakajima Homare 21 engine used in both models which gave plenty of power, but had serious reliability problems.

Sporting a Nakajima Homare 11 radial engine that was very similar to the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 and driving an eleven foot diameter propeller this inverted gull wing bomber was destined to have very little impact on the war effort.
The Japanese Navy had issues specifications for an aircraft that was to replace the Jill and the Judy, the Grace or Shooting Star as designated by the Japanese, was the result of that effort.
These plants were to produce the aircraft with the improved Homare 12 engine.

GRACE flew and handled as well as it looked, but the B7A2 never played a significant role in the Japanese war effort.
That year Japanese Navy planners issued ambitious specifications describing a new attack bomber that, if built and selected for service, would eventually replace two different models already operational, the Nakajima B6N JILL torpedo bomber and the Yokosuka D4Y JUDY dive bomber.
They instructed Aichi to use the Nakajima Homare 11 engine, a power plant in the 1,800 to 2,200 hp-class.

 Ki-84 Performance by Andrew Joihnson
The Ki-84 has a lower unladen weight compared to its Allied opponents with the exception of the Spitfire.
When operating well, the Nakajima ‘Homare’ engine was reasonably competitive to its Allied opponents.
However, its single stage supercharger proved inadequate when close to the 30,000 feet mark.

It was to operate from a new class of larger aircraft carriers so the typical 36 foot length restriction was waived.
It was required to carry a payload of 800kg 1,000 nautical miles at a maximum speed of 300 knots (354mph), and to be as maneuverable as the A6M Zero fighter.
The result was a very large aircraft with an equally large and powerful 18 cylinder Nakajima Homare engine that produced between 1,800 and 2,200 hp.

Despite these problems, the aircraft was found to meet the expectations of the Navy in terms of speed, range and bomb load.
Eventually the engine situation with the Homare became tolerable, but it was feared that production of engines would be insufficient.
