Poznámka: Note: | 一式輸送機 / Isšiki-jusōki / armádní dopravní letoun typ 1 Spojenecké kódové jméno Theresa. Viz historie typu | 一式輸送機 / Isshiki-yusōki / Army Type 1 Transport The Allied reporting name was "Theresa". In 1937, at the request of the Air Division of the Ministry of Transport, Nippon Koku Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha undertook to design an eight-to ten-seat commercial light transport for use on medium-range local services. Designated Teradakoken TK-3 and powered by a pair of 640 hp Nakajima Kotobuki 3, the aircraft was of high-wing design with long faired undercarriage attached to the engine nacelles and a fuselage of tapering square section. First flight was in June 1938, the aircraft have been criticized wrong flight characteristics and rate of climb was disappointing; consequently, only two prototypes were built. The aircraft's performance, however, closely matched the requirements of the Japanese Army's pressing need for light transport aircraft. Imperial Japanese Army Air Force in 1939 the project designated Ki-59. In their initial form these aircraft differed little from their commercial forerunner with the exception of the installation of miliary interior fittings and equipment and the replacement of the Nakajima Kotobuki 3 engines by a pair of 450 hp Army Type 98 (Hitachi Ha-13a). Flight tests, which began in June 1939, revealed the need to modify the shape of the nose to improve pilot visibility and to alter the shape of the undercarriage fairings, and redesigned vertical tail surfaces of greatly imcreased area had to be fitted. With the incorporation of these modifications the flying characteristics of the aircraft improved markedly and the Ki-59 was placed in production in 1941 as the Army Type 1 Transport. Code-named 'Theresa' by the Allies the aircraft remained in production for a short period only, as it was replaced by the Tachikawa Ki-54c. In December 1941 a Ki-59 was modified to become a glider (Kokusai Ku-8-II) by removing the engines and undercarriage and by fitting skids to the bottom of the fuselage. |
