The Mitsubishi A6M122N ZeroSen was a fighter aircraft used by the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. The aircraft was designed and manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and entered service in 1943. It was a highly advanced fighter for its time, with a top speed of 570 km/h and a range of over 2,000 km. The aircraft had a crew of one and was armed with two machine guns and two 20mm cannons. The ZeroSen was known for its maneuverability and stability, making it a formidable opponent in dogfights. The development of the ZeroSen was a significant technological achievement for Japan, as it was the first aircraft to be designed and built entirely within the country's borders. The aircraft was the result of a collaboration between Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and the Japanese Navy, who worked together to create an aircraft that could meet the needs of the navy's pilots. The design process involved extensive testing and experimentation, with the final product being a sleek and powerful fighter that would become legendary for its performance during the war.
