Product Description
FROM WIKIPEDIA:
"The first design was the Funryu 1, an air-to-surface missile (ASM) specialized for anti-shipping use. Funryu 1 was much like a miniature airplane. The warhead contained 400 kg (882 lb) of explosive and guidance was via radio control. Testing of the Funryu 1 was conducted with the missile being dropped from a modified Mitsubishi G4M bomber. However, since perfecting the methods of controlling the missile in flight would take significant time and US bombing raids against Japan were intensifying at the time, it was decided that efforts should be directed towards surface-to-air missiles (SAMs). Thus, the Funryu 1 was shelved and became the only ASM of the Funryu family.[2]
Two more advanced versions were called the Funryu 2 and the Funryu 4. The Funryu 2 was solid-fueled, 2.4 metres (7.9 ft) long, had a diameter of 30 centimetres (12 in) and weighed about 370 kilograms (815 lb). The Funryu 4 was liquid-fueled, 4.0 metres (13.1 ft) long, had a diameter of 61 centimetres (24 in) and weighed about 1,900 kilograms (4,190 lb).[3]
Funryu 4, a much more conventionally shaped missile with four equally sized tail fins and elevons, would be guided primarily by radio control from the ground. The earlier Funryu 2 would be flown into the vicinity of its targets, then would glide the rest of the way. Funryu 4 was a high-speed design that could be flown directly at their target along the line of sight, making surface-to-air use possible."
This has been scaled to be compatible with most A&A-style games.
