The Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien was a fighter aircraft used by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service during World War II. The plane was designed and built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries and first flew in 1942. It was powered by two Nakajima Ha-45 radial engines, which gave it a top speed of 370 km/h and a range of over 2,000 km. The Ki-61 had a crew of one and was armed with four 7. 7mm machine guns and up to 250 kg of bombs. The aircraft was used primarily for ground attack missions and saw action in Burma, China, and the Philippines. Despite its relatively short service life, the Ki-61 played an important role in Japan's military efforts during the war. The development of the Ki-61 was influenced by several factors, including the need for a more maneuverable and heavily armed fighter to replace the aging Ki-45 Toryu. The Japanese military also wanted a plane that could perform well at high altitudes, as many Allied bombers were flying at these heights to avoid Japanese anti-aircraft fire. Additionally, the Ki-61 was intended to be a more versatile aircraft than its predecessors, with the ability to carry bombs and perform ground attack missions. The Ki-61 was designed with a combination of wood and metal construction, with a streamlined fuselage and wings.
Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien - истребитель, использовавшийся ВВС Императорской армии Японии во время Второй мировой войны. Самолет был разработан и построен компанией Kawasaki Heavy Industries и впервые поднялся в воздух в 1942. Он оснащался двумя радиальными двигателями Nakajima Ha-45, что давало ему максимальную скорость 370 км/ч и запас хода более 2000 км. Экипаж Ki-61 состоял из одного человека и был вооружён четырьмя 7. 7-мм пулемёты и до 250 кг бомб. Самолет использовался в основном для наземных атак и действовал в Бирме, Китае и на Филиппинах. Несмотря на относительно короткий срок службы, Ki-61 сыграл важную роль в военных усилиях Японии во время войны. На развитие Ki-61 повлияло несколько факторов, в том числе необходимость создания более маневренного и тяжеловооруженного истребителя взамен стареющего Ki-45 «Торю». Японские военные также хотели иметь самолёт, который мог бы хорошо работать на больших высотах, так как многие бомбардировщики союзников летали на этих высотах, чтобы избежать японского зенитного огня. Кроме того, Ki-61 должен был стать более универсальным самолетом, чем его предшественники, с возможностью нести бомбы и выполнять задачи по штурмовке. Ki-61 был спроектирован с сочетанием деревянной и металлической конструкции, с обтекаемым фюзеляжем и крыльями.
Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien è un caccia usato dall'Esercito Imperiale Giapponese durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale. L'aereo è stato progettato e costruito dalla Kawasaki Heavy Industries e ha preso il volo per la prima volta nel 1942. Era dotato di due motori radiali Nakajima Ha-45, che gli davano una velocità massima di 370 km/h e una riserva di più di 2000 km. L'equipaggio del KI-61 era composto da una persona ed era armato di quattro 7. mitragliatrici da 7 mm e fino a 250 kg di bombe. L'aereo è stato usato principalmente per attacchi terrestri e ha operato in Birmania, Cina e Filippine. Nonostante la durata relativamente breve, Ki-61 ha svolto un ruolo importante negli sforzi militari del Giappone durante la guerra. Lo sviluppo del Ki-61 è stato influenzato da diversi fattori, tra cui la necessità di creare un caccia più maneggevole e pesante in sostituzione di un Ki-45 Toru invecchiato. I militari giapponesi volevano anche avere un aereo che potesse funzionare bene a grandi altitudini, poiché molti bombardieri alleati volavano su queste altezze per evitare il fuoco antiaereo giapponese. Inoltre, il KI-61 doveva essere un aereo più versatile dei suoi predecessori, con la possibilità di trasportare bombe e compiere attività di assalto. Ki-61 è stato progettato con una combinazione di struttura in legno e metallo, con fusoliera rivestita e ali.
