Japanese Army Type 98 Airspeed Indicator

Japanese Army Type 98 Airspeed Indicator

This is my example of the Japanese Army Type 98 Airspeed Indicator produced by Tanaka Keiki Seisakusho. This airspeed indicator type was used in a variety of IJAAF aircraft including the famous Ki-43 Hayabusa 隼 (Peregrine Falcon) “Oscar”, Kawasaki Ki-45 Toryu 屠龍 (Dragon Slayer) “Nick”, Nakajima Ki-44 Zhong Kui 鍾馗 (King of Ghosts) “Tojo” and more. This a very nice example, and no damage or noticeable issues. I had been looking for one for quite a while after missing out on one about 2 years prior, so it was great to be able to finally get an one that will eventually live in my replica Ki-43 panel. The dual rings displayed up to 700 km/h (380Kt) on the inside ring and then up to a maximum reading of 390 knots on the outer ring.

これは田中計器製作所が製作した日本陸軍98型対気速度計の例です。この対気速度計は、有名なKi-43ハヤブサ隼(ハヤブサ)「オスカー」、川崎Ki-45トリュウ殺龍(ドラゴンスレイヤー)「ニック」、中島Ki-44ゾン・クイなど、さまざまなIJAAF航空機で使用されました。 (King of Ghosts)「東To」など。これは非常に良い例であり、損傷や顕著な問題はありません。私は2年前に1つを見逃した後、かなり長い間探していましたので、最終的に私のレプリカKi-43パネルに住むものを最終的に手に入れることができて良かったです。デュアルリングは、内側のリングで最大700 km / h(380Kt)、次に外側のリングで最大390ノットの読み取り値を表示しました。
