Tokyo Koku Ki-107

Overview

The Tokyo Koku Ki-107 was a Japanese military training aircraft for the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force. The Ki-107 was a wooden-built, low-wing, two-seat monoplane with an open cockpit. Powered by a Hitachi Hatsukaze Ha-47 (Ha-11) inline piston engine, it first flew in October 1943. The Japanese Army had ordered 450, as primary trainers, as replacement for the Kokusai Ki-86 (a license-built Bücker Bü 131 that used the same Ha-47 engine), but production was held up by air raids and only twenty-nine had been delivered by the end of the War.
