The Enoshima Ki-170, a product of Enoshima Heavy Industries, is a formidable strike fighter that has served as the backbone of the Japanese Imperial Air Self-Defense Forces (JIASDF) since its introduction in 1974. Developed from the Aichi Ha-70 Seiran, the Ki-170 boasts a unique design that blends high-speed performance with exceptional maneuverability, making it a versatile and lethal weapon on the modern battlefield. One of the Ki-170's most defining features is its swing-wing design. This innovative mechanism allows the aircraft to sweep its wings backward for supersonic flight at speeds up to Mach 2.5, while also enabling forward sweeps for exceptional maneuverability at lower speeds. This adaptability grants the Ki-170 the ability to excel in various combat situations, transitioning seamlessly between high-speed strike missions and intense dogfighting engagements.
