High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Yokosuka H5Y (allied code name Cherry) was an Imperial Japanese Navy flying boat with a Japanese Navy designation of Type 99 Flying Boat. Only 20 were built between 1936 and 1941. Yokosuka arsenal contracted Dai-Juichi Kaigun Kokusho to perform the manufacturing. The H5Y was designed by Yokosuka to meet an Imperial Japanese Navy requirement for a twin-engine maritime reconnaissance flying boat, which was intended to match the performance of contemporary four-engine flying boats while being cheaper to build and easier to maintain. Two prototypes were built at the 11th Naval Arsenal, Hiro, being completed in 1936. The H5Y was a twin-engine parasol wing aircraft, and thus resembled a...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Yokosuka K5Y was a two-seat unequal-span biplane trainer (Allied codename: "Willow") that served in the Imperial Japanese Navy during the World War II. Due to its bright orange paint scheme (applied to all Japanese military trainers for visibility), it earned the nickname "aka-tombo", or "red dragonfly", after a type of insect common throughout Japan. The aircraft was based on the Yokosuka Type 91 Trainer, but stability problems led to a redesign by Kawanishi in 1933. It entered service in 1934 as a land-based K5Y1 with fixed tail-skid landing gear, and remained in use throughout the war. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Yokosuka R2Y Keiun was a prototype reconnaissance aircraft built in Japan late in World War II. Commissioned for the Imperial Japanese Navy after the R1Y design was cancelled due to its disappointing performance estimates, the R2Y borrowed from the German pre-war Heinkel He 119 in its use of coupled engines driving a single propeller. It also featured a tricycle undercarriage giving it an appearance similar to the Messerschmitt Me 509. Completed in April 1945, the prototype made a short flight on 8 May, but was destroyed in a US air raid only a few days later, thus ending development. A proposal was also made to develop the R2Y into a turbojet-powered light bomber by replacing its piston...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Yokosuka B4Y, (Navy Type 96 Carrier Attack Plane), carrier attack aircraft was used by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service from 1936 to 1943. The B4Y replaced the Mitsubishi B2M2 and was the last biplane bomber used operationally by the Imperial Japanese Navy. The Allied reporting name was "Jean". In 1932, the Imperial Japanese Navy issued a requirement for a new carrier-borne attack aircraft. Aichi, Mitsubishi and Nakajima responded to this requirement and each built a prototype. Neither of these aircraft were deemed satisfactory, and the service thus issued a 1934 requirement for a more capable aircraft to replace the obsolescent B3Y. The B4Y was designed by Sanae Kawasaki at the First...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Yokosuka B3Y, or Navy Type 92 Carrier Attack Bomber was a Japanese carrier-based torpedo bomber of the 1930s. Designed by the Yokosuka Naval Air Technical Arsenal, while unimpressive during testing, it was ordered into service by the Imperial Japanese Navy, and was used until replaced by more capable aircraft. In 1932, the Imperial Japanese Navy had a requirement for a new torpedo bomber to replace the Mitsubishi B2M. The air arsenal at Yokosuka prepared its own design to meet this requirement, competing against designs by Mitsubishi and Nakajima. The resulting aircraft was a three-seat single-engine biplane, with a fuselage of steel tube construction and two-bay wooden wings that could...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Yokosuka D3Y Myojo (en: Venus) was a Japanese two-seat dive bomber designed and built by the Yokosuka Naval Air Technical Arsenal. Only five aircraft were built. The D3Y was an two-seat bomber trainer constructed of wood, so as not to use more valuable materials. It was based on the successful Aichi D3A, with design starting in late 1942. Like the D3A, it was a two-seat low-winged monoplane with a fixed tailwheel undercarriage. To allow construction by unskilled workers, the elliptical wing and rounded tail of the D3A was replaced by straight tapered alternatives, while the fuselage was lengthened to improve stability. Two prototypes were built during 1944, these proving heavier than...

It also has the distinction of being the only aircraft to drop bombs on the United States mainland during World War II, in an incident known as The Lookout Air Raid. On 9 September 1942 , Chief Warrant Officer Nobuo Fujita, a pilot in the Japanese Imperial Navy, and his crew man, Petty Officer Shoji Okuda, surfaced in I-25 off the coast of Oregon near Brookings. His tiny seaplane had folding wings and was transported in a small hangar attached to the deck of the submarine. The bombs - 76 kg (168 lb) incendiaries intended to cause forest fires - caused no injuries or real damage. Данное издание...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Yokosuka MXY8 Akigusa was a training glider built in parallel with the Mitsubishi J8M rocket-powered interceptor aircraft. The J8M was to have simply been a licence-built Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet, but due to difficulties in obtaining technical materials from Germany, it eventually had to be designed almost from scratch. The MXY8 was designed in parallel with the J8M to validate the design, and then to provide pilot training during the development of the actual interceptor. The Army designation for the type was Ku-13. The MXY8 was built entirely of wood, and fitted with ballast tanks that would be filled with water to simulate the weight and therefore flight characteristics of a...

The Yolo Causeway is a 3.2-mile (5.2-kilometer) long elevated highway viaduct on Interstate 80 that crosses the Yolo Bypass floodplain and connects the cities of Sacramento, California and Davis, California (through West Sacramento, California). An original stretch of the Causeway was opened in 1916 connecting what is now the city of West Sacramento with Davis, California. The viaduct contained one lane in each direction and in 1928 was made a part of the re-routed Lincoln Highway, the first road across America. Later, the causeway became a part of US Highways 40 and 99W. It also included a drawspan for barges that sometimes needed to cross the bypass. The current causeway was built in 1962 and...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Yolo Bypass is one of two flood bypasses in the Sacramento Valley located in Yolo and Solano Counties. It protects Sacramento and other river city communities from flooding through a system of weirs. These weirs connect the bypass to the Sacramento River as well as to various local creeks where the water is eventually drained into the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. Sacramento experienced several severe floods prior to construction of the bypass. During wet years, the bypass can be completely full of water. The main input to the bypass is through the passive Fremont Weir, where water spills over into the bypass if it reaches the 33.5-foot crest. Downstream, the Sacramento Weir, just...
