List of military aircraft of Japan

This list of military aircraft of Japan includes prototype, pre-production and operational types regardless of era. This includes both native Japanese designs, Japanese produced copies of foreign design, and foreign-produced aircraft that served in the military of Japan.

Wikipedia policy is to use the Japanese names for these aircraft, not the World War II Allied codenames, although these will be redirects and mentioned in the article. They may be listed here for ease of reference. The prefix "Ki" in this list is an abbreviation of "Kitai", meaning "airframe", and was used only by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force. "Ki" should be read as one word, pronounced "Kee".

(Note: a " - " means the information is unknown, not yet added, or not applicable.)
