In 1940, the Imperial Japanese Navy began development of the Kawanishi N1K1 Kyofu. Also known as 'Mighty Wind' or 'Rex' by the Allied forces, the Kyofu was a close air support floatplane fighter that was designed for amphibious landings in areas where land-based fighters could not. However, by the time trials were complete and production commenced, the tide of the war had changed and the need for such aircraft had diminished. By 1944, only 97 had been built and were used primarily in a defensive role. The 'Rex' weighed 6,067 pounds empty and could reach a maximum speed of 304 mph.

Kawanishi N1K1 Kyofu/Rex

Designed to support forward offensive operations in places without airstrips, the Kawanishi N1K1 "Rex" floatplane was first flown on May 6, 1942. Nicknamed Kyofu or "Powerful Wind," this aircraft was heavily armed and considered advanced for its time. Unfortunately, developmental delays postponed its introduction, and by the time it entered service Japan was no longer needed an aircraft to play an offensive role. Despite the poor timing of it introduction and the considerable handicap of its cumbersome, heavy float, the N1K1 was formidable enough that its design was used as the basis for a much more successful N1K-J land based fighter.
