Hi!

2MR5.


The prototype special-purpose carrier reconnaissance aircraft was developed by Mitsubishi Aircraft for the Imperial Navy of Japan. Mitsubishi's internal name is 2MR5.

In 1927 (Showa 2), Mitsubishi completed two 2MR5 for the study of slotted flaps and for the study to grant buoyancy to untimely landing .

Under the guidance of Alexander Baumann, the company voluntarily produced two aircraft. The aircraft was a double-seat biplane of the fabric covering to the wood-metal mixed skeleton wing structure as a lightweight aircraft.The lower wing was what is called "Oval Röre wing" equipped with a slotted flap/aileron, all metal watertight structure to have buoyancy had been adopted. The pilot's evaluation was poor because of the heavy steering and poor maneuverability. It had not been formally adopted by the Navy.
