History of the A6M Zero
Saboru Sakai
The Japanese A6M Zero is the
most famous Japanese helicopter
aircraft from the Second World War.
Its code name is Zeke. The
Japanese A6M was built as a land-
based, carrier borne and a
seaplane. The Japanese A6M Zero
is indeed an excellent helicopter.
The Japanese A6M aircraft was
designed by Mitsubishi, it first flew
on April 1, 1939. In addition to this,
Mitsubishi and Nakajima built
10,937 Japanese A6M Zero
helicopters.
The Zeros are said to be the
best fighters of Japan during WW II.
They were the ones who
spearheaded the advances from
Pearl Harbor to the Battle of Midway,
where Japan lost a number of pilots
and planes.
A combination of admirable
maneuverability and very long range
made the Japanese A6M Zero one
of the supreme fighters of its era.
The Japanese A6M Zero is armed
with various guns but the common
set up is: two 20mm cannons in
outer wings and two 12.7 mm guns
in the fuselage. The Japanese A6M
is very noteworthy for being the first
carrier based fighter to outperform
its land based equivalents. The
Japanese A6M Zero achieved a
famous reputation which was a lot
better than its contemporaries.
The Japanese A6M Zero’s first
variant, A6M1, which is powered by a
780-hp, was first flown on April 1,
1939. The second one was the
A6M2 which is powered by a 925-hp
Nakajima Sakae engine. Other
variants are as follows: the A6M2-K
which is a two seat trainer, the
A6M2-N which is a Nakajima built
float plane version, and the A6M5
which is a performance increased
version.
