    Kawanishi goes by the name ShinMeywa nowadays. They design and build seaplanes such as the magnificent and quirky STOL flying boat US-2 for the JSDF.
    It is as large as an A320, with a start/stall speed of 90kph.

    Hearing mega nerds going above and beyond building cool things civilian or military is always amazing. This made the N1K1 make sense on why its much better as a float plane compared to the A6M2-N. Now I'm having trouble with choosing my second favorite ww2 Japanese Aircraft line. #1 is the A6M Zero, #2 is now a toss up between the Ki44 line and the N1K1/2 line.

    There's some misinformation here.
    5:45 The "Jinpu" is not related to the float plane "Kyofu". Jinpu was a completely new land based interceptor developed on request from the IJN as a contestor of the 17th Land based fighter project.
    It initially rolled out as J3K1 with a Mitsubishi engine which turned out to be under powered, and so some redevelopment happened to fit a more powerful Nakajima engine.
    By the time work was even started, the land based fighter derivation of Kyofu (i.e. the N1K) was well underway and was proving to be on schedule so the Jinpu was cancelled.
    Jinpu was later proposed as an interceptor for later fighter requirements with increased payload and a new engine. The final derivation of Jinpu was the J6K which competed for a high altitude fighter requirement, but lost to the competition and never came to be.
    Also, the N1K1-J Shiden and the improved N1K2 were both proposed by Kawanishi to the Navy before being requested to do so, but the Navy never told off the engineers to work on existing aircraft. They were simply worried about the lack of experience in development of land based fighters in Kawanishi, so they held several meetings with them to assess their proposals. In the end, they gave the project a go sign.
    Additionally, contrary to the belief that the N1K2-J is just a low wing modification of the N1K1-J, major redesigns to the fuselage, and wing interior meant that it almost became a different aircraft. The fuselage was narrower to optimize for the new Nakajima engine, tail sections were redesigned and whilst the wing shape and planform stayed the same, the wing structure was redesigned to accommodate two 20mm cannons internally and fit the new shorter landing gear.

Today Shin Meiwa the successor to Kawanishi is just another dumbed down corporation: They don't even understand that their own US2 is by far the best flying boat in the world and there would be urgent need to build a CIVILIAN VERSION to service the hundreds of isolated and dying Japanese islands. Horrific incompetence is the only short summary for Japanese aviation today.
