A8N, zero six-purpose multi-purpose carrier-based fighter (Daily) A8N, A is a carrier fighter, 8 is the eighth paragraph, N is the Nakajima factory Showa April 7, 2007 ... Battleship Yamato battle Shen ... The next day, cherry blossoms, A7Y-type carrier-based fighter prototype a crashed in the landing test. Although the A7Y carrier-based fighter prototype No. 2 completed the remaining tests, the landing test still ended in failure. After all ... A7Y-type high speed is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Its low-speed performance is still too bad, the first aircraft is closing the throttle ready to crash when the ship crashed, while the second engine in order to prevent the stall caused the landing speed too high, can not stop at the end of the deck ... ... Showa 20 May ... Sovereign to surrender ... Nakashima Plant designers who participated in the A7Y-type machine test know very well that A7Y can not ship and its outstanding performance is hard to show on the battlefield. Designers decisively launched a new carrier-based aircraft research and development. Showa 20 January ... The A7Y fighters shone on the Pacific battlefield in complex operations by letting ships fly, land and escort ships back. However, to implement the nine-segment invitation strategy, the complicated operation of the A7Y aircraft can not meet the demand for combat. However, the A7Y successfully managed to gain time for the development of new carrier-based fighter jets. Showa 21 February (Emperor 2606) A8N carrier-based fighter completed the first prototype. In order to speed up the manufacturing speed, A8N used A6M zero type carrier-based fighter with the same type of airfoil, shortening the length of the body also makes it has no less than the A7Y type much less maneuverability, low speed performance is acceptable, compared to A7Y complex airfoil And the body, greatly accelerating the manufacturing speed. The same A7Y engine, but the speed faster than the A7Y, reached 621.5kmh (A7Y is 619.5km
