History edit

The Manchuria Airplane Manufacturing Company was established in late 1938 under the supervision of the Japanese government[2] as a subsidiary of the Nakajima Aircraft Company of Japan.[citation needed] Its main plant was located in Harbin, Manchukuo.

From 1941 to 1945, Manshū produced a total of 2,196 airframes (eighth among Japanese airframe manufacturers),[3] of which 798 were combat aircraft. The company also produced 2,168 aircraft engines (sixth among Japanese aircraft engine manufacturers).[4] In addition, Manshū provided repair services for a variety of aircraft in the Manchukuo Air Force and for Imperial Japanese Army Air Force units stationed in Manchukuo.

Licensed production edit

Manshū produced a variety of Japanese aircraft under license production agreements:

Independent designs edit

Manshū also developed a number of aircraft independently:

Among the Manshū independent designs, however, only the Ki-79 advanced trainer reached mass production, as the Army Type 2 Advanced Trainer.[5]
