The Kawasaki Ki-100 is a Japanese, single-engine low-wing fighter with a classic tail and a metal structure. The flight of the prototype took place in February 1945, and in the same year the plane entered the line. The Ki-100 was a very far-reaching modification of the Ki-61 machine, which primarily involved replacing the unreliable Ha-40 and Ha-140 in-line engines with the Mitsubishi Ha-112-II KASEI radial engine with 1500 hp. Despite the problems, it was possible to start serial production, which was based on two aircraft models: Ki-100-I Ko and Ki-100-I Otsu. The Ki-100s were used almost exclusively as interceptors for the B-29 bomber raids on the Japanese Islands. About 400 machines of both versions were built. Technical data: length: 8.82m, wingspan: 12m, height: 3.75m, maximum speed: 580km / h, rate of climb: 13.9m / s, maximum range: 2200km, maximum ceiling 11000m, armament: fixed - 2 12.7mm Ho-103 machine guns and 2 20mm Ho-5 cannons.
