Various Japanese civilian aircraft designs

[hesham]

Hi,

The Japanese company NAMC YS-12 was developed from YS-11 but
powered by two Rolls Royce dart RDa 10s ,YS-31 was with two RDa 7s
and the YS-12-4 was with four RDa 10 engines.

This design seems to be more hypersonic than supersonic, with its huge booster.
Mmmm....anyway the aircraft itself has too much sharpe edges to be a credible hypersonic.....

The last design seems to be more hypersonic than supersonic, with its huge booster.

That "huge booster" is not that big...

By the way,


the Kawasaki entry was C-1,and may be my dear Blackkite knows the Fuji and Mitsubishi
proposals for a C-46 replacement competition.

 

[famvburg]

I have seen this as being a Kawasaki replacement for the C-46. http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,18068.msg172281.html#msg172281

 

[hesham]

Thank you Famvburg,


but also the Kawasaki C-1 was the final aircraft in this competition,which began in
1966 and continued at the early of 1970s.

 

[blackkite]

Sorry for delay. I will try to find informations for Mitsubishi and Fuji proposals for C-1.
Give me time.

 

[hesham]

Thank you my dear Blackkite,


and we must don't forget the NAMC YS-33 and JADC YSX-75 jet airliners projects;

A small info about Fuji proposal,FR magazine 10/1964.

 

[blackkite]

Oh! Surprising information.

From the Multi-purpose STOL transports thread:

From Japan,

NAL project of 1995 :it was medium-range lift/cruise fan 100 passenger
VTOL airliner.

The NAL VTOL aircraft;
http://www.flightglobal.com/PDFArchive/View/1991/1991%20-%200473.html?search=Aeritalia%20aircraft

National Aerospace Laboratory (NAL) VTOL Airliner, Japan (1991)

Medium-range lift/cruise fan 100-passenger VTOL airliner study by Japan's National Aerospace Laboratory (NAL), Fuji, and Ishawajima intended to fly in 2010.

Three core engines to drive either six lift fans beside center-fuselage in aerodynamic wingroot sections or two propulsion fans at tail; rear mounted swept-back wings with large winglets; sweptback foreplanes; airscoops above above rear fuselage.

Flight controls: Pitch-axis control by reaction jets or small fans; rudders in winglets.

Cruising speed: Mach 0.8
Range: 1,350 nautical miles (2,500km;1,550 miles)

A small info about Fuji proposal,FR magazine 10/1964.

As I know,the company Fuji also submitted some light aircraft Projects in this period
(1960s & 1970s).

 

[hesham]

From Ailes 4/1/1963,

what was this Japanese Toki light airplane ?,the construction company was Mitsubishi ?.

 

[hesham]

From L+K 11/1986,

what was this odd design,and from which company ?.

 

[Deltafan]

As far as I understand, it was a japanese project for the years 2000, with turboprops, mach 0.85 speed, 30% less consumption and 80-120 seats.

Nothing about the company.

 

[blackkite]

Ummm........
Like a Beech Starship.

 

[Aubi]

"Japanese next gen passenger airplanes wil also have a canard configuration - first will be flying in the 90's. They will have two turboprop engines with pusher propellers, speed around M=0.85 and 30% lesser consumption than current airplanes and they will also be much quieter. There are several proposed variants with 80 to 120 passengers."
Sadly no other info anywhere.

Like my teacher of Economics used to say: "It's always risky to make forecasts, especially about the future."
How true...

 

[blackkite]

Indeed!! Starship seemed to be excellent.

The 'Lost Decade' was the graveyard of many a dream.
