The aircraft?[edit]

What kind of aircraft is this? Completely impractical!!! I shall remove the section until some sensible info becomes available or definite proof that the specs are correctly reproduced.

Aircraft[edit]

According to the history of Buzen, Fukuoka city hall, the West Japan Newspaper reported that the planned airplane, while in its design stage, was to have the following dimensions:

1.6 m (5 ft 3 in) in length
4.26 m (14 ft 0 in) width
6 m (19 ft 8 in) wingspan
area of 28 m² (301 sq ft)
weight of 6 tonnes (5.9 long tons; 6.6 short tons)
maximum speed of 400 mph (640 km/h; 350 kn)
nominal speed of 200 mph (320 km/h; 170 kn)
minimum 3 mph (4.8 km/h; 2.6 kn)
cost: 30,000 yen

After Ryōichi's death, his father wrote that the prototype engine was only 37.5 kg (83 lb), with a power output of 20 hp (15 kW) at 30,000 rpm at the best conditions in testing, and commenting that there was not a comparable engine worldwide.^[1] Japanese term of Airplane (飛行機, hikōki) literally Fly-go-machine was created by Mori Ōgai in March 1901 while writing in his diary about Ryichi's passionate speeches in which he solicited financial advice for the Flying machine for humans. Notably, the patent granted to Mechanical calculator in 1903 is the same year the Wright brothers' first powered flight succeeded.

Ther engine is a complete work of fantasy too!!Petebutt (talk) 14:02, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
