미쓰비시 A6M "제로"는 미쓰비시 중공업의 일부인 미쓰비시 항공기 회사가 이전에 제조하고 1940 년부터 1945 년까지 일본 제국 해군이 운영하는 장거리 전투기입니다. A6M은 미쓰비시 해군 Type 0 항공모함 전투기(零式艦上戦闘機 rei-shiki-kanjō-sentōki) 또는 미쓰비시 A6M 레이센으로 지정되었다. A6M은 보통 조종사들에 의해 레이센 (零戦, 제로 전투기)이라고 불렸으며, "0"은 제국 해군과 함께 복무 할 때 제국 연도 2600 (1940)의 마지막 숫자입니다. 연합군의 공식 보고 이름은 "Zeke"였지만, "Zero"(Type 0부터)라는 이름의 사용은 연합국에 의해 구어체로 사용되었다.

The Clipped-Wing Ocean Raider
Tthe Mitsubishi A6M3 Zero (Type 0 Model 32 and 22) represented a pivotal mid-war evolution of Japan’s legendary carrier-borne fighter. Introduced to counter increasingly aggressive Allied air tactics, the A6M3 sacrificed a fraction of the original Zero’s legendary extreme range in exchange for greater speed, a faster roll rate, and better high-altitude performance. When Allied pilots first encountered the square-winged Model 32 variant over the Solomon Islands, its distinct silhouette initially fooled them into thinking they were fighting an entirely new aircraft type, which they designated with the code name “Hamp.”

Design Engineering: Squared Wings and Supercharged Power
- The “Clipped” Wingtips: The most drastic visual shift on the A6M3 Model 32 was the removal of the folding wingtips. By squaring off the wings and shortening the wingspan by one meter, designers intentionally traded a bit of lift for an increased roll rate, allowing the plane to dive and bank sharply in dogfights.
- The Sakae 21 Engine: To unlock better performance, the A6M3 upgraded to the supercharged Sakae 21 engine. This engine was heavier and longer than the previous model, forcing engineers to shift the firewall rearward and redesign the forward fuselage cowling.
- Upgraded Cannon Punch: The signature 20mm wing cannons received a massive ammunition upgrade. The older 60-round drums were replaced with larger 100-round drums, significantly expanding the pilot’s sustained heavy firepower during extended air-to-air engagements.
- Aerodynamic Supercharging: The air intake for the engine’s two-speed supercharger was integrated neatly into the top lip of the engine cowling, ensuring a high-volume ram-air intake that optimized oxygen mixing at thin, high-altitude operational bands.
Operational History: The Battles of Guadalcanal and Rabaul
- The “Hamp” Identity Crisis: When the clipped-wing Model 32 first arrived in combat zones in 1942, US Intelligence misidentified it as a brand-new fighter type, assigning it the separate code name “Hamp.” Only after examining crashed specimens did they realize it was a modified Zero.
- The Price of Range: The structural shifts of the Model 32 required shrinking the main internal fuel tank. Flying out of the massive Japanese bastion at Rabaul, pilots found the reduced range made the grueling long-distance return trips from Guadalcanal incredibly risky.
- The Model 22 Correction: Recognizing the strategic need for range in the vast Pacific, Mitsubishi quickly introduced the Model 22 variation of the A6M3. This hybrid model kept the powerful Sakae 21 engine but re-installed the longer, traditional rounded wings and added fuel bladders.
- Clash with the New Wave: The A6M3 fought through the heaviest attrition phases of the Solomon Islands campaign. While it still easily outmaneuvered early Allied aircraft, it faced structural limits when attempting to catch heavy diving attacks from newer, heavily armored US fighters like the F4U Corsair.
