Mitsubishi Q2M

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mitsubishi Q2M "Taiyō" Anti-Submarine Aircraft design was derived from the Mitsubishi Ki-67-I Hiryū "Peggy" Heavy Bomber/Torpedo-Bomber of the Japanese Army(and "Yasukuni" Navy's torpedo-bomber version). It was ordered for design and construction in the last stages of war.

Powerful engines of 1,850 hp which powered five blade propellers. Such aircraft were managed by five or six crew. Due to technical troubles and a long development of the theoretical design, this aircraft did not advance from paper plans in last days of conflict.
