Most Imperial Japanese Army Air Force (JAAF) fighters had been developed by Nakajima Hikoki K.K., like the Ki-27, Ki-3 Hayabusa, and Ki-44 Shoki. Well into WWII, Nakajima concentrated their efforts on developing the newest Army Type 4 Fighter Hayate. Its development began in Dec. 1941 in response towards JAAF demand for a brand new general-purpose fighter, Ki-84. It had been to go beyond the rate and climbing capability for the Ki-44 Shoki; possess equal maneuverability and range on Ki-43 Hayabusa , and show superb attack power. The Nakajima Ha-45 engine had been plumped for, that has been essentially the 16-cylinder Sakae motor used on the Zero fighter and Ki-43 Hayabusa, aided by the following modifications: it absolutely was risen up to 18-cylinders, made more lightweight, and had its power boosted to about 2000hp. Hayate was also equipped with 13mm armor plating and a 70mm armored windscreen, rendering it the first Japanese airplane built with pilot security the developmental stage. In August 1943, the Hayate made its very first sortie over Asia. Hayate fighters were later on provided for fight into the Philippines, Okinawa and so forth. They certainly were also used in the Japanese mainland to intercept and destroy incoming B29 bombers. Including two 12.7mm fuselage machine gun/two wing mounted 20mm cannon equipped bomber destroyer-interceptor, about 3500 Hayates had been produced. Into the last phases of WWII, the drop both in the quality of available materials and manufacturing procedure caused a decline in the price of procedure and gratification of Hayate.
