Built by Osaka Imperial University and Syowa Kookuu-keiki Co.Ltd., likely on a Imperial Japanese Navy contract. Note that postwar the Japanese use the American spelling for analyser, i.e. analyzer. There are a couple of pictures at the original article. It had an older (completed in 1942)...

In 1932, the Imperial Japanese Navy issued a specification for its 7-Shi Land-based Attack. The only known contender (and winner) of that competition was the Hiro G2H1, or Type 95 Land-based Medium Attack, Twin Engine, also commonly known as the "Dai-ko" or "Big Attack." It was a remarkably...

Hi Aichi F1A. Competitor of Mitsubishi F1M. There was a sea plane version and a land base plane version of F1A.

Hi! Kawanishi E13K. http://www.airwar.ru/enc/sww2/e13k.html Auto translation. In 1937, the Imperial Japanese Navy decided to change the old Scout Kawanishi E7K seaplanes (Navy Type 94 Reconnaissance Seaplane) to more advanced aircraft. For this purpose, contracts were signed with companies...

Hi! Aichi E16A1 Zuiun.

While going through some Japanese sources I came across these seemingly undocumented projects: 7-Shi Special Bomber (one Nakajima prototype built — program cancelled) 7-Shi Reconnaissance Seaplane [E7N] (unbuilt Nakajima contender of the E7K "Alf" and E7A) 8-Shi Fighter (Nakajima proposal —...

Hi all! Maybe somebody can help with better, or at least bigger, drawing of this triplane monster? The only one which I could find is this (see attachment). I found it here: http://www.straggleresearch.com/2010/10/navy-type-10-carrier-torpedo-aircraft.html.

New one to me. 500 tons? What a monster that would have been. The H11K Soku was the KX-8 internally to the company. If the designators went in order, then one can surmise that the KX-3 was a proposal which pre-dated the H11K. Still, I bet no sane military official would have given such a...
