Japan had already begun to develop the fly wing glider before the World War II. In order to reach the further demands of army, Kayaba had developed three type of fly wing glider successively. The blueprints of Kayaba âKatsuodoriâ fly wing were accomplished at the end of April, 1940 and the prototype was produced very soon. The airframe was metal skin. Its length, altitude and wingspan were 4.48m, 1.85m and 8.99m respectively. Although the product had made the transition from glider to power fly wing, its military number which provided by Japanese Army still denoted glider:âKu-4â. The attitude of Japanese Army was disappointed by the Type 2 crash which happened at the Tachikawa airport in May 10th, 1941. The funds of Kayaba âKatsuodoriâ were hold back. Furthermore, the Pacific war was intensified to expand at the same time, most attention of Japanese Army was focused on the production of military planes. So the Japanese Army did not carry any longer about the development of fly wing techniques. At last, Kayaba âKatsuodoriâ became the experiment which invested by Kayaba Company itself. This kit is the type of ram-jet power according to the original designs. Its engine is copied from HeS001 Type A ram-jet engine of Germany. The armament is a pair of 30 mm cannon on the both sides of nose. And for a bomber, it is easy to carry Kayaba âKatsuodoriâ to increase the range.
