Product Introduction The Type 0 carrier-based fighter is a fighter that served as the main fighter of the Japanese Navy. Its maneuverability was outstanding, and its firepower and speed exceeded the standards of naval battles at the time, and even surpassed land-based fighters. It was on October 5, 1932 that Mitsubishi and Nakajima were issued with a request for a 12th prototype carrier-based fighter as the main carrier-based fighter following the 96th. Mitsubishi began the design with engineer Jiro Horikoshi as the chief designer. Engineer Horikoshi developed a more advanced design based on the technology cultivated during the 96 battles, including reducing weight and resistance. In addition, the adoption of constant speed propellers, retractable landing gear, split structure, water drop type closed windshield, streamlined drop tank, Courcy radio return direction measurement device, use of ESD (super duralumin), and installation of 20mm cannon in the wings, etc. New attempts were incorporated, and the 12th prototype battleship (A6M1) No. 1 was completed with the Zuisei 13 type (takeoff output 780 horsepower). Immediately after the start of the test, it was decided that the increased prototype aircraft after the 3rd model, which had the engine replaced with the Sakae 12 type (takeoff output 940 horsepower) and the tail arrangement changed, would be called the A6M2, and the Type 0 carrier-based fighter 1 It was officially adopted as a model. In addition, a mechanism has been added for aircraft No. 67 and later that folds the wing tips in 50cm increments. Furthermore, it was outfitted for naval warfare, such as a Courcy radio return direction measurement device and a landing hook, and was adopted as the Type 0 1 carrier-based fighter type 2 (later renamed the 0-type carrier fighter 21 type, A6M2b). These Zero fighters were operated by experienced crews and demonstrated their seemingly invincible strength on the front lines in various areas. Safety warning None
