However, in the 21st century, the Japanese were known for the creation of the MRJ-70 and Mitsubishi Regional Jet aircraft for civil aviation, as well as the F-2 model for the military.
By the way, this is not the only “office” from the Land of the Rising Sun that has mastered the production of bombers, fighters, military transport and other aircraft. In this field, during the Second World War, the automobile manufacturer Nissan, the motorcycle manufacturer Kawasaki and Kayaba, known for its automotive shock absorbers, were noted.
However, the British are not a blunder either. So, at the request of the British armed forces, the legendary Rolls-Royce began to design engines for aircraft, mainly fighters.
Aircraft engines were also produced by the American company Chrysler, which then switched to the production of military transport aircraft called the C-27 Spartan.
The Germans also distinguished themselves by sending deadly Messerschmitts and Junkers bombers into the air on Daimler powerplants, whose Mercedes we love and still operate.
