Koken Long-range monoplane

1,152 GESICHERT  4.0 years ago

This is a replica of a real aircraft I created for the first time.

This airplane was made by Japan and is an experimental airplane that set the world record for long-distance flight in 1938. Say Kokenki in Japanese.

    @GESICHERT Ok, it's just that "you can steer while looking at the left and right windows" sentence seems to contradict with the "folding windsield" part so I asked to be sure.
    BTW, what's this plane based on?

    That's right, it was shaped like that to reduce air resistance as much as possible.

    "the windshield is foldable and you can steer while looking at the left and right windows"
    I assume you mean there are two pilots sitting behind their respective windshield-looking-things on the fuselage? Because IIRC if the pilot sits inside the fuselage and looks through the side windows similar to the Spirit of St. Louis you don't really need those windshields.

    Thank you for your comment. This is because the windshield is foldable and you can steer while looking at the left and right windows.

    Why doesn't it have a cockpit?
