development and construction
The Fuji T-5 was developed by Fuji Heavy Industries to replace the piston engine-powered Fuji KM-2 as a beginner's training aircraft for the marine self-defense forces . Fuji fitted the airframe of a KM-2 with an Allison 250 propeller turbine. The aircraft designated as KM-2D flew for the first time on June 28, 1984. The KM-2Kai is a further development of the KM-2D with a modernized cockpit and side-by-side seats and a sliding roof instead of the side doors as in the KM-2D. The T-5 is an all-metal low-wing aircraft with an Allison 250 B17D propeller turbine and a three-bladed propeller. It is equipped with a retractable nose wheel landing gear and has a closed cabin with a sliding roof and two seats arranged side by side with double controls in the aerobatic version - and four seats in the connecting version.
Mission history
The KM-2Kai was ordered by the Marine Self-Defense Forces as T-5 in March 1987. Delivery began in 1988. The T-5 serves with the 201st training relay.
