The P-1, the successor to the P-3C, is a patrol aircraft used for prolonged and extensive surveillance, and patrol over the seas around Japan. The P-1 presents is manufactured domestically, with a newly-developed its airframe, engines and patrol systems.

The P-1 employs the world’s first practical fly-by-light flight control system, which offers outstanding resistance to electronic magnetic interference. Moreover, the newly developed sonobuoy and radar systems feature improved capabilities for detecting submarines and suspicious ships.

Mar 26, 2013 · It is the first jet engine patrol aircraft developed entirely in Japan. The P-1 employs the world’s first operational fly-by-light (FBL) system with high electromagnetic interference tolerance, as well as new acoustic and radar systems with enhanced detection capabilities.

The C-1 Transport Aircraft has greatly contributed to the enhancement of transportation capabilities of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. The Short Take-Off and Landing (STOL) performance－an important qualification for tactical transport planes－ was realized by a high-lift system consisting of a leading edge slat and a four-stage Fowler flap.
