The Nakajima B5N carrier-capable attack aircraft, which incorporates a number of new innovations, is the first Japanese Navy aircraft to have a low-wing monoplane structure with a monocoque structure.
Adopting an epoch-making hydraulic retractable main landing gear, the width of the fuselage is narrowed down to the maximum near the cockpit for a three-seat aircraft. By adopting an upward folding wing, the overall width is shortened and the storage space inside the aircraft carrier can be reduced.
By adopting an all-metal 2-stage variable-pitch 3-wing propeller, the propeller efficiently demonstrates engine output according to each situation during takeoff, climbing, cruising, and high speed, and performance has improved dramatically.
On November 16, 1973, it was officially adopted as the Nakajima B5N No. 1 ship attack aircraft, and it was equipped with a Hikari engine with a low power of 300hp instead of the originally planned Sakae engine, but the Navy requested it. It was higher performance than that.
In the fall of 1938, the Sakae engine was set to be put into practical use, and it was installed. In December 1939, it was officially adopted as the Nakajima B5N No. 3 carrier-based attack aircraft, and mass production in Nakajima was switched to the No. 3 engine.
In December 1941, he participated in the attack on Pearl Harbor, which was the beginning of the Pacific War. I did.
Among them, the success of lightning strikes on the shallow sea surface, which was considered impossible, is worthy of special mention in combination with the high performance of this machine. Tyut_3_2104_85_4967834191761_LTE _d1911
