Third Flight of Josefs Kyūshū J7W1 Shinden, model scale 1 : 4.5

Kyūshū J7W1 Shinden, japanese fighter aircraft prototype of WWII. Very successful third flight after some modifications i.e. CG moved 12 mm forward, ailerons (system FRISE) differentiation 2/3 up, 1/3 down, prolongation of nose wheel strut. The Pilot Martin reported that no separate rudder movements were necessary anymore, the model flies very stable.
Model build by: Josef
Pilot: Martin
Camera: Hartmut.

I live in Kyushu, Japan. I also watched Godzilla-1 and am planning to build Shinden at the control line. I was surprised to see that foreigners are building and flying Japan's Shinden. Great performance! ! A full-size replica is on display at the Tachiarai Peace Memorial Museum in Fukuoka, so please come and visit it.

[@kennethcohagen3539]

It’s one of my favorite airplanes. I would like to see it in flight with another plane like a P51 or Corsair with the same engine and same weight to see how efficient the Shinden was. I’m a fan of Canard aircraft and I think it would have been faster that a tractor design.

[@jeffyoung60]

Beautiful flying model. The owner shouldn't be shy of painting the model actual Japanese historical colors and national insignia. Also the owner should place a military pilot figurine inside the cockpit. Airplane designers factored in the weight of the pilot, commonly around 150-lbs plus weight of boots, uniform, parachute, pistol, et al. Men in 1944-45 were much lighter than today. Since the Shinden model flies pretty well, you can see that the Americans would have had a tough time facing the Shinden flying well over 400 mph at altitude, bristling with a lethal quartet of four, 30mm cannons ready to shred American B-29 Superfortresses out of the skies over Japan.

What a superb flight, and the landing was "par excellence," as our Gallic friends might say. It seems that high AOA landings and high AOA flight regime on this wing design is where it excels. Probably would have been a beast in combat, I dare say.

実機は初飛行こそ成功はしたが...エンジンのトルクの影響かなのか、左への偏向が顕著でこの先の開発が容易ではない事が覗わせつつも、全力飛行試験を計画中に終戦となって将来を永遠に閉ざされた あくまでも模型であり実機とは｢別物｣だと解っていても、この特殊な形態でも此れだけ華麗な機動が出来るのを見せつけられると、実機も｢もしかしたら、いけるかも⁉｣と希望(妄想)が出てしまう(笑)良い動画でした

[@user-oj8nj8yf4o]

戦局が時を貸せば、震電は必ず、短時日のうちに玉成されていたことでしょう。この頃、知ったかぶりの文系野郎がしたり顔をして、一知半解の妄言を垂れ流しているのには、設計者であり、日本初のエンジニア・パイロットであった鶴野正敬少佐も泉下で激怒されていることでしょうな。震電の安定性設計の話は、鶴野正敬少佐の空技廠における先輩であり、鶴野少佐とともに安定設計に参与した彗星設計者の山名正夫博士の名著（＝専門書）飛行機設計論にも述べられています。この本は日本の飛行機設計関係の技術書の金字塔で、今でもアマゾンで購入できます。ところで、鶴野少佐は初飛行は自分の操縦で飛ぶつもりでいたのでしたが、もし何かあったら開発が止まってしまうという周囲の関係者の必死の要請で思いとどまったとのことですから、試飛行の進行につれ、もし困難な問題が生起したら、必ず自らの手で操縦して確認し、即座に対策していったことでしょう。鶴野少佐は陸軍の高高度戦闘機キ９４Ⅱの設計者、であり、トヨタ800やトヨタの初代カローラの設計主査でもあった立川飛行機の長谷川龍雄技師の東大航空学科におけるクラスメートでありまして、共に、日本の空気力学の権威者であった守屋富次郎博士のお弟子さんです。
