Description

In regards to the Kawanishi N1K1 Kyofu Type 11 in front of the outbreak about the Pacific War, the imperial Japanese Naval Headquarters conceived an insurance policy to test create a float airplane fighter aircraft. This idea was indeed without precedent, and is at reference to the presumption that through Japanese Combined Forces invasions of Southern Island areas, close atmosphere help must protect the intrusion fleet and its own landing workers. This may be given by floatplane fighters until the completion of airfields. These floatplane fighters could possibly be stationed inside waterways and bays nearby the occupied and occupied areas, until arrival of land based aircraft.

In 1940 the Navy instructed Kawanishi Aircraft, that previous expertise in development of superb floatplanes, to produce an aircraft become called 15-shi floatplane fighter, Kawanishi designed and produced a sizable, single-seat midwing, floatplane of metal construction. It had a giant centerline float, and just only a little strut mounted outrigger float near each wing tip. It turned out operating on an exemplary Mitsubishi Kasei radial motor and first flew in December 1943. It absolutely was designated the N1K1 Type 11 "Kyofu" and rule called "Rex" by the allied forces through war.

Although Kyofu had been regarded as numerous effective floatplane fighters to own ever been devote practical solution, it arrived much too late to acquire any impact on the result of pacific conflict.
