		Yokosuka D4Y2 was powered by a 1400 hp Aichi Atsuta 32 12-cylinder inverted Vee piston engine providing a top speed of 550 kmh and a range of 1465 km.
		Yokosuka E14Y carried a crew of one or two in tandem and was armed with a 7.7 mm machine-gun on a flexible mounting in the rear cockpit.
		Yokosuka MXY7 Model 11 was carried to its target by a Mitsubish G4M2 aircraft, and then released to glide in before firing its three Type 4 MK 1 solid-propellant rockets with a combined thrust of 800 kg to propel the high-explosive packed aircraft at 650 kmh into its target.

	Yokosuka MXY8 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Yokosuka MXY8 Akigusa (ç§è, "Autumn grass") was a training glider built in parallel with the Mitsubishi J8M rocket -powered interceptor aircraft.
		The J8M was to have simply been a licence-built Messerschmitt Me 163, but due to difficulties in obtaining technical materials from Germany, it eventually had to be designed almost from scratch.
		Many sources apply the designation MXY8 to the Yokosuka MXY7 Ohka kamikaze weapon.

		The Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka was the forerunner of the Exocet and other anti-shipping cruise missiles of today.
		Designated the MXY7 Type 11, the design required a parent aircraft to carry the craft aloft and when near the target, the pilot would disengage from the parent, point the craft towards the target and use three solid propellent rockets to accelerate towards the target at high speed, making interception all but impossible.
		This design was approved by the Navy in August of 1944 and turned over to the Navy's own First Naval Air Arsenal at Yokosuka, which had produced several notable designs including the D4Y Suisei dive bomber and the E14Y GLEN submarine-launched reconnaisance floatplane, for further development.

		This flying bomb packed a large warhead in the nose and employed three small rocket engines mounted in the tail to extend the range.
		Kugisho engineers developed an improved trainer, the two-seat MXY7 K-2 Ohka 43B, when they substituted a second cockpit for the warhead/ballast compartment.
		They gave the aircraft a landing skid, flaps, and a single jet motor of the type used in early versions of the Ohka 11.

		(From Jack McKillop) The Baka was the Yokosuka MXY7, Navy Suicide Attacker Ohka (Cherry Blossom).
		The first version was the Model 11 carrying a 1,200 kg (2,646 pound) warhead in the nose and designed to fit in the bomb bay of a specially modified Mitsubish G4M2e, Navy Type 1 Attack Bomber Model 24J, Allied Code Name "Betty." The Ohka had three Type 4 Mk.
		The second version, the Ohka Model 22, was planned to be an improved version of the weapon to be carried by the faster Yokosuka P1Y1, Navy Bomber Ginga, Allied Code Name "Frances." In order to accommodate the Ohka in the bomber, the wing span was reduced and a smaller warhead was carried.

		In order to make it possible for the mobile forces to destroy the US landing forces in Leyte Gulf, it was necessary to stop the movement of the US task forces.
		This included new types of attacks, including purpose-built Yokosuka MXY7 Ohka rocket-bombs, small boats packed with explosives, and manned torpedoes.
		Their "high-point" came during the Battle of Okinawa, when waves of planes made hundreds of attacks.

		This plane was to be inexpensive, easy to manufacture in large numbers, and equipped for high speed to avoid being shot down.
		Once the concept had been accepted, Yokosuka began developing the MXY7 Ohka (cherry blossom).
		The Ohka was a small, rocket-powered vehicle mounting a large warhead in the nose and intended to be carried to the target area by a Mitsubishi G4M2e bomber.

		hile a number of the rocket-powered Ohka 11 versions exist in museums worldwide, the NASM MXY7 Model 22 is the only jet-powered example surviving.

		To help train pilots for this new type of aircraft a wooden trainer was constructed.
		Designated the MXY7 Akigusa (Autumn Grass) and built by the Maeda Koku Kenkyusho, this glider was of general size and external configuration as the Shusui A total of 56 of these traing gliders were built with two of them going to Mitsubishi to assist in the development of the J8M1.
		While these airframes were being developed, Mitsubishi in conjunction with the Yokosuka Naval Aeronautical Engineering Arsenal worked on adapting the HWK 109-509 rocket motor for Japanese production.

		Once the concept had been accepted, Yokosuka began developing the MXY7 Ohka (cherry blossom), a small, rocket-powered vehicle mounting a large warhead in the nose and intended to be carried to the target area by a Mitsubishi G4M2e bomber.
		After being released, the Ohka would engage its rocket motors to make a high-speed dash to the target ship.
		The Model 22 was also fitted with a Campini-type jet engine instead of rockets increasing the Ohka's range as well as reducing speed to allow better maneuverability.
