English: Yokosuka MXY 7 Ohka flying bomb, picture taken at Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center
The NASM Ohka is a rare Model 22, powered by an early type of jet engine, which unlike the rocket engine of the Model 11, gave it much greater range- an important feature since Model 11's needed to be launched within 20 miles of target by slow moving mother ships which were easy prey for fighters. According to the Smithsonian this Ohka was taken from Japan to Alameda, Ca in late 1945, with the first photo taken in December 1945. Then to the Smithsonian in 1948, where it was on display at Smithsonian Arts and Industries Building until it was moved in the early 1970s for storage at Paul E. Garber Facility in Suitland, Maryland facility. It was restored there in 1993. It is unlikely this was captured anywhere else besides the Yokosuka research hangers, since Aichi was unable to perform any assembly on Model 22s, Yokosuka built all Model 22s, and all the research for the troublesome Tsu-11 engine integration were conducted at Yokosuka. |
