    Is there any unbuilt Cold War era Japanese military aircraft project other the domestic twintail FS-X project?

    I am deeply appreciated of the beautiful appearance of domestic twin tailed Mitsubishi FS-X fighter jet (which in turn being replaced by the American design single engine F-16 variant which is now known as F-2 Viper Zero), so I am curious how many other unbuilt cold war era Japanese military...

    J/APG-1

    The one thing am curious about this radar is, could it have been made small enough to fit in a regular f-16 or was the increased size of the f-2 nessary inorder to fit it. And how much would that have effected its range because as is, iv seen the J/APG 1's range as described as in between the...

    Strange model fighter jet in Mitsubishi Museum

    I haven't made a post on here in ages but today I stumbled upon something very strange and interesting only the people here might know of to find. I was going on a romp around Japan in Google Maps looking at aviation museums and such and I came across a museum near Nagoya Airport owned by...

    F-4EJ 301 Prototype Camera equipment

    The ADTW F-4EJ Kai Unit 301 has some unique cockpit controls exclusive to it relating to Camera and optical pod operation. From what I know all the camera pods used by RF-4EJs and F-4EJs used film based cameras that didn't give any video feed into the cockpit. It seems that the this unit...

    Japanese cruise missiles

    MTCR only applies to exports. Japan really isn't looking to sell complete weapon systems yet, so I'd assume the range is really driven by their own operational requirements.

    Japan's FS-X (Fighter Support-Experimental) Program

    The original FS-X design seems to owe a lot to the Hornet 2000 proposal, doesn't it? Particularly that fourth image- aside from the wedge intakes and shorter nose, I might have thought that was the Hornet 2000 proposal......

    Mitsubishi X-2 ATD-X Shinshin Demonstrator

    A fellow aviation collector I know in Japan posted this image to our forum and he tells me that it was some sort of full-size RCS test model for a proposed Japanese fighter design. I've never seen anything like this in the press before but it appears to be some sort of F-22-based model with what...
