――The Zero fighter type 52 is a fighter of the Japanese Navy that was active in World War II and the Pacific War.
-The Zero Fighter Type 21, which was feared by the enemy as a high-performance aircraft, became inferior in speed and weapons to the new enemy fighter in the 18's of the Showa era.
――Therefore, the 52 type was developed following the 32 type and 22 type.
――In order to improve the speed, the width of the main wing was cut down to 11m, and the cowling (cover covering the engine) was redesigned to obtain a thrust single exhaust pipe (exhaust that uses the exhaust of the engine to obtain some thrust). Equipped with a tube).
――The Zero Fighter Type 52 series produced a total of about 6,000 aircraft and was active until the defeat of the Pacific War.
[data]
--Crew: 1 pilot
--Overall width of the aircraft (wing width): 11m
--Overall length of the aircraft (up to the tip of the propeller spinner) 9.12m
--Overall height (from the ground to the tip of the vertical stabilizer): 3.51m
--Engine: Sakae 21-inch air-cooled radial engine
--Engine output: 1,100 horsepower at an altitude of 2,850 m
--Armed on the aircraft: 2 20mm cannons = top of the nose, 2 7.7mm cannons = tip of the wing
* The engine output is measured by the Zero Fighter Type 52 at the most efficient atmospheric pressure and temperature altitude during flight. This altitude depends on the aircraft.
