This is the second large-scale flying boat that Kawanishi produced.
As a succession machine of Type 90 No2 flying boat,This was ordered to Kawanishi as Type 9 test flying boat in 1934.
The chief design person is Shizuo Kikuhara engineer. (Afterwards, take charge of the design of Type 2 flying boat and PS-1. )
To fill long large cruising range and a big airlift, four engines are installed in this aircraft.
A long and slender main wing of aspect ratio 9.7 is adopted.
Because Type 97 adopted a smart body,A triangular prop is put up in two places in the body upper part and it ties to the main wing and the prop was diagonally extended from the lower side of the body and the main wing was supported.

[ About the directions point in FS2004 ]
This aircraft model is made by using FSDS Ver2.24.
Therefore, it is possible to play basically in FS2004(FS9).
However........!!
For a wide large-scale aircraft, the distortion is caused and the phenomenon of the aerofoil tip's disappearing happens in the spot shooting mode.
If this phenomenon happens, Please switch to the spot shooting mode by using other small aircraft.
Afterwards, if this aircraft is selected, it is normally displayed.
