The Gleaming Golden Pirate Ship “Queen Ashinoko” This time we'll be introducing the construction process of the Queen Ashinoko. The video "Queen Ashinoko's Construction From Start to Finish" (クイーン芦ノ湖」の製造過程動画「クイーン芦ノ湖ができるまで」), was released by "Hakone Pirate Ship Hakone Sightseeing Cruise (Official)." The Queen Ashinoko is the 3rd pirate ship that is in service on Hakone's largest lake, Lake Ashinoko. Hakone is a hot spring resort area representing East Japan, and the area is full of tourists year round. However, the appeal of Hakone is not just the hot springs. Going for a cruise on Lake Ashinoko is also one of the major attractions of sightseeing in Hakone, and, as shown in the footage, in 2019, the 3rd pirate ship "Queen Ashinoko" went into service. It has a gleaming golden hull and the design, with its luxurious and classic interior using wood, has become widely talked about and is already very popular. You can see the appearance of the beautiful hull at 4:57 during its commencement ceremony. The Queen Ashinoko was named after a pirate ship, and was designed as a tourist ship of luxury and elegance, with the concept of "from a ship that fights to a ship that prays for peace..."On the bow is a statue of Nike of Samothrace, which is exhibited at the Louvre Museum. It is designed as a luxurious and elegant sightseeing ship. In order to make use of the classical design as a pirate ship, Dawn Design Institute was asked to undertake the basic design; and as shown at 0:35 in the video, Mr. Eiji Mitooka, who served as the industrial designer, says that he was very particular about pursuing a sense of fun, comfort, and luxuriousness from the customer’s point of view. Building the Pirate Ship and How It Was Transported Source :YouTube screenshot Typically, shipyards are located by the sea. Even ships like Queen Ashinoko, that are located in the mountains are built near the sea. In fact, Queen Ashinoko was built at a shipyard in Tsurumi, Yokohama, in Kanagawa Prefecture. But then how was such a massive ship like the Queen Ashinoko brought to Hakone? Well actually, the basic manufacturing of the frame and exterior was done at the shipyard, and then the hull was disassembled into 10 blocks and transported to Hakone by land. You can see the transport at 1:30 in the video. After being transported to Hakone in a large trailer, the Queen Ashinoko was assembled at the owner's company's dock, and then the finishing touches of painting and interior work were done, and finally it was completed. The actual assembly process is shown at 2:37 in the video. You can see that the entire process, including the golden paint job, is carried out by shipbuilding specialists. The wooden interior design was designed by computer and laser engraved for a beautiful finish. Queen Ashinoko is the first ship in Japan to have a laser-engraved interior design using computer graphics. The Launch Ceremony in April 2019! Source :YouTube screenshot Watching the launch ceremony for a ship is quite an awesome experience. You can see a shiny new ship entering the water at Togendai Port at around 4:00 in the video, and there are scenes of many people celebrating at the inauguration ceremony and actual passengers on board at the time of the launch.

The 0 Series Shinkansen Returns as the World’s Slowest Bullet Train/Railway Hobby Train! The video "[Railway Hobby Train] Debut|Ehime Newspaper," (「鉄道ホビートレイン」デビュー・愛媛新聞), released by "ehimenp," is about the 0 series Shinkansen (The world’s slowest bullet train) running on the JR Shikoku Yodo Line, which stops at Uwajima station and Chikanaga station. This line runs along the Shimanto River. The Shinkansen is Japan's high-speed railway, celebrating its 50th anniversary. The first Shinkansen train to celebrate this anniversary is the 0 series, a car with a cute round nose that everyone has seen at one time or another. The 0 series Shinkansen can be seen at 1:10 in the video. Although the 0 series Shinkansen was retired in 2008, a diesel train car was converted to a 0 series Shinkansen-style train in 2014 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Yodo Line, which runs from Kochi Prefecture to Ehime Prefecture in the Shikoku region. That happens to be the "Railway Hobby Train" introduced in the video. The nicknames of the 0 series shinkansen are Hikari and Kodama. At the time, it attracted a lot of attention in Japan and around the world as a high-speed train that ran at the world's highest speed of 210km/h. Of course, the Railway Hobby Train is a sightseeing train, and since it is a slow-moving diesel train, it cannot achieve such high speeds, but you can enjoy a scenic tour of Shikoku while being gently rocked by the lovely dumpling-nosed cars of the nostalgic 0 series Shinkansen, which look just like the original. The cute Railway Hobby Train can be seen at 0:55 in the video. The Charm of the 0 Series Shinkansen Photo:Railway Hobby Train The Railway Hobby Train is a set of three cars that run on the Yodo Line. In addition to the 0 series Shinkansen train introduced in the video, there is the Shiman Trolley, which can be seen from 6:04 and the Kaiyodo Hobby Train, which can be seen at 6:09. Together with these trains, the three brothers of the Yodo Line are the centerpiece of the regional development. In other words, when we talk about railway hobby trains, we're referring to these three types of trains. Among them, the 0 series hobby train shown in the video is the most popular! Children and Adults Alike Are Excited! the Secrets of the Railway Hobby Train! Source :YouTube screenshot As you can see from 3:06 in the video, the Series 0 Shinkansen Railway Hobby Train has a model display area inside the train, where the very popular Plarail issue is on display, making it a true dream train for train enthusiasts and children. The Series 0 Shinkansen Hobby Train is based on the Kiha 32 series train, and a fully colored version of the popular N gauge product called "Micro Ace" is also available. The 0 series Shinkansen was also featured in the popular children's anime "Shinkansen Transforming Robot Shinkarion," so the 0 series Shinkansen is not only for old fans, but a dream come true for children as well. We recommend checking the operation status of the train on the official JR Shikoku website in advance, as it is expected to be very crowded on the days when the train is running. Summary of the Railway Hobby Train Source :YouTube screenshot There is a museum called Shikoku Railway Cultural Center in Saijo City, Ehime Prefecture. Here, there are 0 series train cars, that actually were once active as shinkansen, on display. In other words, Shikoku is a holy land for railway enthusiasts. The Railway Hobby Train also has a photo corner, but for those who want to take photos of the cute train cars traveling through the magnificent nature of Shikoku, the best place to do so is near the railway bridge on the Yodo Line over the Shimanto river. Don't forget to check the timetable in advance, as Shikoku is often hit by typhoons and operations are cancelled when the weather is bad. Also, the three hobby train brothers are limited to one run per day! Don't miss your chance! 【Tripadvisor】Railway Hobby Train https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g608510-d10758981-Reviews-Tetsudo_Hobby_Train_Yodo_Line_JR_Shikoku-Uwajima_Ehime_Prefecture_Shikoku.html -

A Look at Japan's Dekotora Source :YouTube screenshot Dekotora is an abbreviation for decoration truck (in Japanese truck is pronounced "torakku"). Dekotora are artsy trucks that are decorated with glittering electric illuminations, and a flashy exterior. Parts such as the front deck, visor, and front bumper, are especially flashy. Dekotora culture is a unique subculture in Japan, and due to its unique appearance it has also begun attracting attention from overseas. The beautiful trucks are made by decorating the exterior in a variety of ways, such as painting the body in flashy paint, adding electrical equipment such as lanterns and marker lamps, or adding aero parts made of chrome plating and stainless steel. At 2:02, you can see both the interior and exterior of a dekotora. The interior is decorated with stickers and other gadgets, and you can see the dedication of the owner to their vehicle. However, if you put too many decorations on the vehicle, there are times when it won't pass the vehicle inspection, so dekotora fanatics have to keep this in mind when designing their trucks. You can see a variety of unique dekotora on Instagram, or at events and gatherings. There are also plastic models, radio controlled dekotora, and the truck game “Bakuso Dekotora Legend” that you can purchase, so you can enjoy dekotora at home as well. There are different styles for decorating dekotora as well. Some categories are “Gundam Art,” “Modern Art,” “Kansai-style Art,” and “Retro Art.” The History of Japan's Dekotora Source :YouTube screenshot The origin of Japan's dekotora is said to be from seafood transport trucks using stainless steel plates to fix the deterioration of the body. This deterioration was due to the effects of the snow-melting agents. The movie “Truck Guys” which was released in 1975, sparked a boom in popularity and many people began making dekotora. The famous vehicle "Ichiban boshi" which appeared in "Truck Guys," was turned into a plastic model and became very popular among children at the time. Unfortunately, the movie "Truck Guy" received complaints from the police due to its explicit depictions and the movie was discontinued. Because of this, the dekotorora craze slowly began to fade away. Currently, with movies such as "Dekotora Girl Nami" and "The Eagle of Dekotora," dekotora have once again gained public attention. Summary of Japan's Dekotora Source :YouTube screenshot In this video we showed, "【HD】Story of the modified vehicles~The latest Dekotora Episode②~,” produced by “Tenku Ranbuー Custom Videosー"; a video that introduces Japan's flashy dekotora trucks. Dekotora are decked out with beautifully illuminated electronics and paint, and their impressive appearance fascinates onlookers. These flashy dekotora go for a pretty penny, even used. Currently, dekotora are on the decline; However, videos of them on platforms such as Instagram, have garnered a lot of attention, so if you're interested, definitely check them out! -

After watching this video i'm sure you'll want to take the i-ROAD for a drive yourself! Unfortunately, the i-ROAD is still a concept car undergoing field trials, and therefore only a small number of models have been produced. A few have been sold to regular customers, however, the majority have been sold to companies and local governments. How to Drive the i-Road Since 2015, Toyota has been offering an i-ROAD sharing service and a test drive monitor service. For those who are hesitant about whether to purchase an i-ROAD or not, we recommend making the most of Toyota's car rental service (which comes at an affordable price), or testing out the comfort and feel of the i-ROAD at an exhibit during the Tokyo Motor Show. As long as you hold a regular driver's license you will qualify to drive the i-ROAD. Unfortunately, those who hold a driver's license for a moped or motorcycle license do not qualify.

The Most Convenient Sightseeing Taxi Taxis fares vary by region and company, but in some cases, a pick-up fee is charged to pick you up at your current location as well as a waiting fee if you aren't at the taxi when it arrives. On the other hand, there are some taxi companies that offer discounts for long-distance trips, so you should make good use of them when sightseeing. Unlike other countries, Japan's taxis have developed in their own unique way. Toyota, one of the largest companies in the Japanese automotive industry, has developed a next-generation taxi called "JPN TAXI." This article will cover everything you need to know about JPN TAXI! Be sure to follow along with the video! What is JPN TAXI? Source :TOYOTA The difference between Toyota's "JPN TAXI" and a normal taxi is the model. When we think of Japanese taxis, we usually think of a sedan type, but the JPNTAXI is a tall wagon type. The height of JPNTAXI makes it comfortable for foreigners to ride in, as the cabin is spacious and easy to relax in. If you retract the seat, you can get in the car with a wheelchair and if you have a caregiver, they can sit next to you. In addition, JPN TAXI can also store large trunks vertically, making it possible to carry more luggage than a conventional taxi. JPN TAXI Interior Features Source :TOYOTA Do you ever worry about your smartphone or tablet running out of battery during business trips and when sightseeing? JPN TAXI has two USB terminals so you can charge your electronic devices on the go! You can make good use of the travel time to check your email, look up tourist attractions, and more, all without worrying about how much battery your device has. Other features include assisted grips that make it easier to get in and out of the cab. Toyota's JPN TAXI is also equipped with a newly-developed rear suspension that reduces sway even on rough terrain, and other subtle features. Check Out the JPN TAXI App! Source :TOYOTA You can also call a JPN TAXI through the dispatch app "JapanTaxi." Although it doesn't mean you'll 100% be able to ride in a JPN TAXI, it's very useful app for those who don't know the area or can't speak the language well, so we recommend downloading it before your visit to Japan. It's also possible to book a taxi in advance to make your visit to Japan as smooth as possible.

A Fusion of Sports Bike and Japanese Steel - The Pride of Suzuki Motor This video, titled "KATANA official promotional video : FEEL THE EDGE | Suzuki," is an introductory video of the famous motorcycle "KATANA," produced by the world renown automobile and motorcycle manufacturer, Suzuki. At 0:07 in the video, we're greeted by the flames of a forge and a hammer striking steel. Shortly after, the beautiful design of Japanese sword appears. This is followed by a series of fast-paced scenes in which a samurai wearing a visor makes a powerful slash, creating the sharp edges of Suzuki's "Katana." At 1:32, in the video, the samurai transforms into the rider, racing down the track on the KATANA. It's a very cool video, reminiscent of a samurai riding full speed into battle. About Suzuki's KATANA Photo:Suzuki Motorcycle The KATANA, a masterpiece of a motorcycle possessing Suzuki's own sharp and aggressive form, was born in 1981, some 40 years ago. At that time, its unparalleled sharp design captured the hearts of riders and spawned a loyal following. The first classic KATANA type was the GXS110, a prototype with a cowling that was announced at the 1980 motor show in Germany. At that time, opinions on the radical design with a motif of a Japanese sword were divided, and it was said that it would never be mass-produced with such a design. However, mass production of the old KATANA began in 1981, with only the 1100cc variant being released. But its popularity grew and it was made into a series of 750cc, 400cc, and 250cc variants. The development was temporarily discontinued in 2000, but the older models are still incredibly popular to this day, and used and custom bikes are sold at high prices. The GSX250SS KATANA, a faithful reproduction of the first KATANA released in 1991, is said to be the most popular of the successive generations that have been released. More About the Latest KATANA Source :YouTube screenshot In 2019, Suzuki announced the long awaited production of a new model KATANA. Prior to this, the KATANA 3.0, a prototype of the new bike, was unveiled at the EICMA 2017 Milan show and generated a lot of buzz among bikers. Suzuki’s flagship model, Suzuki Naked, is used in the new KATANA’s engine. It also has a full LCD-type multi-function display, which improves the visibility and operability of the fuel consumption gauge and speedometer. The new supersport bike has a more distinctive appearance with a sharper cowling than the KATANA of yesteryear. Summary of Suzuki’s New KATANA Source :YouTube screenshot The new KATANA was launched in 2019 to the delight of many motoring enthusiasts, and thanks to improvements to the engine and suspension, it takes less time to reach top speed. The new Katana's design is sharper and more ambitious than ever before, and it's sure to attract both old fans and newcomers to the bike. The new KATANA will be available in one model and two colors, with prices starting at 1,540,000 yen. For more information, check out Suzuki's official website. If you haven't yet, be sure to check out the video to see the sharp design of Suzuki's "KATANA." 【Official Website】KATANA Special website | Suzuki motorcycle https://www1.suzuki.co.jp/motor/katana-sp/index.html -

The Self-Supporting Motorcycle, Honda Riding Assist, Is the Future of Motorcycles! Its Futuristic Features Will Blow Your Mind!
Transportation- 57 plays

Introducing the Self-Supporting Motorcycle, Honda Riding Assist The video "Video Explanation [Honda Riding Assist]" (動画で解説「Honda Riding Assist」), uploaded by "nikkeibp," introduces the the Honda Riding Assist developed by Japanese motorcycle manufacturer, Honda Motor Company. Enjoy the amazing features of the futuristic motorcycle! What is Honda Riding Assist? Source :YouTube screenshot Honda Riding Assist is a motorcycle that can stand on its own when running at low speeds and when stopped. The electric motor moves the front wheel from side to side to balance. From 0:17 in the video, you can see the motorcycle standing its own. The rider even stands up! This is an appication of the robotics technology and humanoid robotics research developed for ASIMO and other products. Normally, motorcycles lean in the direction the handlebar is turned, but the motorcycle developed by Honda leans in the opposite direction to counteract the imbalance. This is thanks to the movement of the front wheel. At low speeds, the front wheels slide forward and the ground contact point moves in front of the turning point. When driving normally, the center of gravity shifts in the direction the handlebar is turned, but at low speeds, the turning point is behind the contact point and the center of gravity shifts in the opposite direction to where the handlebar is turned. This makes it possible for the motorcycle to balance on its own. You can see an explanation from 0:34 in the video. There are currently no plans to sell the Honda Riding Assist. The Technology of the Honda Riding Assist Source :YouTube screenshot The Honda Riding Assist was developed to provide stability at low speed and to improve riding comfort and security during traffic and when stopped. By adopting "e-Drive" it is also eco-friendly and carbon-free, which is Honda's vision for the future. They announced the self-support "Honda Riding Assist" motorcycle at “CES2017” in January 2017, and in the same year, they announced “Honda Riding Assist-E” at the Tokyo Motor Show. Everyone was surprised to see the handle turning automatically. Walking With Honda Riding Assist Motorcycle Source :YouTube screenshot Because the motorcycle works without a rider, it can self-propel and move around as if going for a walk. At 2:16 in the video, you can see the bike following behind the rider. Technologies like this help to reduce the risk of accidents and lead to safer touring. The Future of the Honda Riding Assist With the self-support function introduced in the video, we could even begin to see motorcycles that can be enjoyed by those with disabilities and the elderly. e-Drive, the power train, is equipped with a large-capacity battery that can also function as a power source during disasters. Summary Source :YouTube screenshot What did you think of the Honda Riding Assist, a futuristic free-standing motorcycle developed by Honda Motors? The technology featured in this article has the ability to change the future of motorcycles forever. Currently, there are no plans to sell this motorcycle, but if they do, what do you think it'll go for?

A Wedge Plow at the Aizu Railway's Yunokami Onsen Station: Video Introduction This video, titled "Wedge Plow Operation in Heavy Snow! Yunokami Onsen Station on the Aizu Railway" (大雪でラッセル車稼働!会津鉄道の湯野上温泉駅), was uploaded by "YAMAnoHAMA." This video was taken at Yunokami Onsen Station on the Aizu Railway on February 15, 2015, when it snowed heavily. The wedge plows seen in the heavy snowfall areas of Japan's Tohoku region are vehicles for snow removal. It's possible you've seen them as model trains, in picture books, in toy train sets as a kid, etc. Check out the video to see how the wedge plow works in heavy snowfall areas. A Wedge Plow in Action at Yunokami Onsen Station on the Aizu Railway Source :YouTube screenshot In the video, after the Aizu Mount Express rapid train arrives at Yunokami Onsen Station, a wedge plow slowly enters the station from the other side, pushing through the snow. People who seem to be tourists are taking pictures of the wedge plow, as it's an uncommon sight. Outside of Japan's most snowy regions it's unlikely that you'll ever see one. Many people are surprised when they first see the wedge plows, as they can be smaller than you'd expect. [Video] 0:05 - The Aizu Mount Express Rapid Train Arriving [Video] 0:47 - Wedge Plow Snow Removal Wedge Plows and Their History in Japan Photo:A DE15 Wedge Plow on the Soya Main Line A wedge plow, called a "Russel-sha" (ラッセル車, Russel Car) in Japanese, is a wedge plow developed by the Russell Company in the United States. The plows have a snow removal plate (blade) at the front of the vehicle and can remove snow on both sides in the direction of travel. It's similar to a bulldozer, but for snow. In the mid-Meiji period, the Japanese government purchased a Yuki type-1 snowplow (single track, wedge plow) in Hokkaido. At that time, the vehicle was an all-wood car with a tandem axle bogie. In the Showa period, the structure was improved, and wedge plows functionality evolved. Vehicles such as the new DD13 and DD15 diesel locomotives began to be manufactured and operated in large numbers across Japan. In recent years, high-performance railroad speeders have appeared and efficiency is improving. In addition, there are various types for different applications, such as a type with a wedge plow and a rotary device, and a type with a rotary head attached to a wide wing. More About the Aizu Railway in Fukushima, Japan Photo:The Fifth Okawa Bridge, Aizu Railway in Shimogo, Fukushima The Aizu Railway is a local line that runs from Aizukogen Ozeguchi Station in Fukushima Prefecture to Nishi-Wakamatsu Station. The line is 57.4 km long, and you can enjoy rich views of nature and rural scenery from the train windows. Another feature is that you can travel to tourist attractions such as Nikko, Tochigi and Asakusa, Tokyo without changing trains, thanks to mutual access with Yagan Railway and Tobu Railway. The Aizu Railway has many unique stations. There's Yunokami Onsen Station, which has a thatched-roofed station building, and Ashinomaki Onsen Station, which gained popularity for its station master who happens to be a cat and was featured in numerous media. Yunokami Onsen Station, which appears in the video, is the closest station to Ouchi-juku, one of Aizu's most popular tourist attractions, and is therefore visited by many tourists. Also recommended is the Oza Toro Tembo, a sightseeing train where passengers can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Minami-Aizu. It's a two-car train with tatami mat seating where passengers can relax with sunken kotatsu seating, trolley seats where you can enjoy the scenery, and observation seats. There are no windows in the trolley seats, so you can enjoy the train while feeling the pleasant breeze in spring and autumn. Summary – The Wedge Plows of the Aizu Railway This time we introduced wedge plows running along the Aizu Railway in Fukushima, Japan. Wedge plows are a rare sight, even for those that live in Japan, so if you get the chance to see one, definitely take some photos. Wedge plows only operate on days with heavy snowfall, so if you get the chance to see one, consider yourself lucky! When planning a trip to Japan in winter, consider adding the Aizu Railway to your itinerary to see these awesome wedge plows powering through the snow! -

A video of Aizu-Tadami Koyo-go - A Steam Locomotive on the Tadami Line This video, titled "[4K] Tadami Line "Koyo-go 2015" - Journey Through Japan by Train - A Spectacular View of a Steam Locomotive," (【4K】只見線「紅葉号2015」〜日本の鉄道旅 絶景SL」) was released by "beaphoto1." The Tadami Line runs along a ravine from Aizuwakamatsu Station in Fukushima Prefecture (福島県) to Koide Station in Niigata Prefecture (新潟県). It's a popular line among railroad enthusiasts and tourists for its spectacular scenery. The Tadami Line is a local line with a reputation for enjoyable train travel. This video features the SL (steam locomotive) Aizu-Tadami Koyo-go, one of the most popular trains on the line. Aizu-Tadami Koyo-go's Tadami Line - Ranked the #1 Local Line Source :YouTube screenshot The Tadami Line is a 135.2 km long line belonging to East Japan Railways (JR East) and connects Fukushima and Niigata prefectures along the valleys of the Aburuma (破間川) and Tadami Rivers (只見川). The Tadami line runs through one of the most mountainous areas in Japan, so the scenery from the train windows is incredibly beautiful and it's very popular among travel lovers. With fresh greenery in the spring, autumn leaves in the fall, and snowy scenery in the winter, you can enjoy the scenery from the train windows all year round on the Tadami Line. As the train runs along a canyon, there are many railway bridges. Among them, the "No. 1 Tadami River Bridge," which can be seen from 0:03 in the video, is a popular spot for photographing the beautiful SL Aizu-Tadami Koyo-go. The "No. 1 Tadami River Bridge," which frequently appears in the video, was completed in 1938 as a truss arch bridge. In a survey by The Nikkei on October 11, 2008, the Tadami Line was ranked first in the NIKKEI PLUS1 "Top Ten Railway Lines with Beautiful Fall Foliage." You can see the scenery of the steam locomotive Aizu-Tadami Koyo-go running on the No. 1 Tadami River Bridge at 0:10 and 1:18 in the video. The Allure of the SL Aizu-Tadami Koyo-go Source :YouTube screenshot The most attractive part of the SL Aizu-Tadami Koyo-go is that you can enjoy a landscape found only on this local line. The SL Aizu Tadami Koyo-go is a C11 325 type, and has three coaches. It starts from Aizu-Wakamatsu station and ends at Tadami Station. The C11 325 model has been running on many routes since it was manufactured in 1946, and is still in service today as the SL Aizu-Tadami Koyo-go. When the steam locomotive is not in operation, there is also a trolley train called the Kaisoku Kazakko Tadami Line Koyo-go. This is another train we highly recommend riding if you have the chance. The Tadami Line is famous as an "unexplored line," and what better way to experience it than traveling through it on a steam locomotive? Sightseeing Destinations in Aizu via the SL Aizu-Tadami Koyo-go Photo:Higashiyama Onsen, Fukushima Prefecture The SL Aizu-Tadami Koyo-go starts at Aizuwakamatsu Station in Fukushima Prefecture. This is the center of Aizu tourism, and is home to the famous Higashiyama Onsen (hot springs). There are many other onsen inns along the route, so we recommend staying at one to relax for an evening. We recommend enjoying Fukushima's famous horse sashimi, Aizu-Jidori chicken, and the mushroom dishes in autumn when staying at one of the local hot spring inns. Summary of the SL Aizu Tadami Koyo-go Photo:Tadami Koyo-go, Fukushima Prefecture We hope that after watching this video you're thinking about enjoying a train ride to see the beautiful autumn foliage of Aizu! Aizu is a tourist destination with different scenery in each of the four seasons. Enjoy a trip to Aizu on the scenic Tadami Line's SL Aizu Tadami Koyo-go, and enjoy Aizu - a great place for taking Instagram photos! -

This video, titled "An Akagi helicopter takes off from the Shizuoka Heliport|Kaman K-MAX JA6236" (静岡ヘリポートを離陸するアカギヘリコプター カマン K-MAX JA6236), was released by "Blue san" (ブルーさん). This stylish helicopter is the Kaman K-MAX, a cross-rotor helicopter developed by Kaman Corporation. This helicopter does not have a tail rotor, but instead flies with two rotors on each side (intermeshing rotors). With this system, all the power of the engine is transmitted to the main rotors. The movement of the left and right rotors, which rotate alternately to avoid collision, is very interesting to watch. Watch the video to see this unique helicopter taking off!
