Fukunaga Tenryu 3

To help Fukunaga establish a flying school of his own, ltoh released the Emi 2 Aeroplane to him and took it to Osaka. Using numerous fields in trying to find a suitable place for his flying school, the aeroplane was frequently damaged and repaired. Eventually Fukunaga settled on the dry river bed of Tenryu River in Kakezuka-cho, Iwata-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture, near his family’s place of origin, where he established in November 1919 what was at first the Fukunaga Aeroplane Research Studio. Because of the many repairs and modifications, his aeroplane was so unlike the original Emi 2 Aeroplane that he renamed it the Tenryu 3 Aeroplane, a name he applied in retrospect to the two previous aircraft and continued to use, numerically sequenced, to those that followed.

The Tenryu 3 was used to provide flying training for his younger brothers, Shiro and Goro, followed by other students who were merely allowed to taxi the aeroplane since the 1911 Gregoire Gyp engine was all but worn out and difficult to adjust.

Fuji FA-200 Aero Subaru

Fuji Heavy Industries builds a two seat aerobatic light trainer, the FA 200 Aero Subaru, of which over 250 have been sold in Japan and in Europe. Expensive to produce because of its heavy reliance on handwork and imported hardware, and rather homely in appearance, the Fuji has not been as great a success, but it has not been a failure.

FA-200-160

The FA-200-160 is a basic version with a Lycoming O-320-D2A engine and certified as a two-seater (aerobatic category) and three-seater (utility) or four-seater.

The FA-200-180 was a developed version certificated as a two-seater (aerobatic category) and four-seater (utility and normal categories).

The FA-203S was an experimental STOL verion with leading-edge slats and full-span trailing-edge flaperons. Only one was built.

Fuji LM-1 Nikko

The Fuji LM-1 Nikko is a four-seat liaison aircraft adapted from the design of the Beech T-34 Mentor which was built under licence by Fuji for the Japanese Self-Defense Force.

Fuji KM-2 / T-2 / T-5

Fuji T-3

The original LM/KM series aircraft were four-seat developments of the Beech T-34A Mentor, the first flying in 1955, and large numbers were delivered to the JMSDF and JGSDF for liaison and training. A tandem two-seat derivative of the Beech T-34 with a Lycoming IGSO-480-AIA6 piston engine entered production in the mid¬1970s as the KM-2B for the JMSDF, and later as the T-3 for the JASDF. Fuji in Japan flew the prototype (JA3725) of the KM-2B two-seat primary trainer on 26 September 1974; this development of the earlier KM-2 combined the airframe and powerplant of that aircraft with the tandem-seat cockpit arrangement of the Beech T-34A Mentor.

Fuji KM-2 Article

Ten KM-2 were ordered for the JMSDF, for delivery by February 1963. Further contracts were to follow, to replace the 45 North American SNJs (Harvards) then in naval service. The prototype KM-2 received its certificate of airworthiness February 1961.

T-5

Fuji has tested a company owned four-seat KM-2 utility aircraft with an Allison 250-B17 turboprop, under the designation KM-2D.

The first KM-2D, flown on 28 June 1984, was a straight conversion of a company-owned piston KM-2 retaining the original four-seat cabin structure.

The JMSDF considered re-engining its fleet of tandem-seat KM-2B trainers, but has now elected to purchase new-build KM¬2Kais, with the first funded in 1986/87. These will be turboprop powered, and will retain the tandem seating of the KM-2B. Deliveries are scheduled for 1988, to begin replacement of the oldest KM-2Bs.

The Japanese Maritime Self-Defence Force took delivery of the definitive turbo-prop powered KM-2D prototype (first flown on 27 April 1988) in August 1988 which was to be tested by the service until March 1989. This prototype, a conversion of a MSDF KM-2B, embodied extensive cabin redesign.

Fuji T-1 Hatsitaka

First post-war jet aircraft of Japanese design, the prototype T1F2 flew for the first time on January 19, 1958, powered by a 4,000 lb thrust Bristol Siddeley Orpheus 805 turbo-jet. Two production batches of 20 of this version were built as standard two-seat intermediate jet trainers for the Japanese Air Self-Defence Force, under the designation T1A.

Fuji T-1 Hatsitaka Article

They were followed by the all-Japanese T1F1 (JASDF designation TIB) with a 2,645 lb thrust J3 IHI 3 turbojet produced by Ishikawajima-Harima. The prototype of this version flew on May 17, 1960, and 20 production models were ordered by the JASDF for delivery between August 1962 and March 1963.

It was powered by a German-built 25 hp 3-cylinder engine, driving a propeller of 1.8 m diameter.
