''Data from:''Japanese Aircraft 1910–1941 & Japanese Aircraft of the Pacific War & Japanese Aircraft Engines Japanese aero-engines for military aircraft were given a wide variety of designations depending on the customer. This led to much confusion, particularly among the Allied forces, where a single engine type could have up to six different designations. This situation emerged because of the almost total lack of co-operation in weapons procurement between the IJAAS (大日本帝國陸軍航空隊 - Dai-Nippon Teikoku Rikugun Kokutai - Imperial Japanese Army Air Service) and the IJNAS (大日本帝國海軍航空隊 - Dai-Nippon Teikoku Kaigun Koukuu-tai - Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service). Engines could have designations in any or all of these designation systems: ;Army Hatsudoki experimental designation: (''Nakajima Ha41'') ;Army long designation: (e.g. ''Army Type100 1250hp Air Cooled Radial'') ;Navy experimental designation: (''Nakajima NK9B'') ;Navy Name designation: ( ''Nakajima Homare 11'') ;Manufacturers designation: (''Nakajima NBH'') ;Unified system introduced by the Ministry of Munitions in April 1942: (Kawasaki Ha-60) ==Army Hatsudoki system== Experimental engines for Army aircraft were given ハ Ha – (エンジン - Hatsudoki) numbers whilst under design and testing. The Army Ha numbers had no intrinsic meaning and were only sequentially allocated. Sub types could be identified by suffixes -kai, -ko etc., or -I, -II etc.. e.g.:Nakajima Ha115 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Japanese aircraft engine identification systems」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
