Design and development
The Ki-9 was originally planned to be manufactured in two versions using the same basic airframe, but with different engines for service as either a primary or intermediate trainer. However, when the lower-powered form proved to be unsuitable due a center of gravity issue, design of a new airframe was ordered for the basic trainer version, and was given the new designation of Ki-17.[1]
Compared to the Ki-9, the Ki-17 had equal-span wings, a slimmer fuselage and a revised tailplane. It was powered by a 112 kW (150 hp) Hitachi Ha-13a radial engine. The first prototype flew in July 1935.[1]
The only major change made to subsequent production aircraft was the deletion of the upper-wing ailerons to eliminate oversensitive control inputs.[2]
Operational history
The Ki-17 was introduced to service as the Army Type 95-3 Basic Grade Trainer Model A under the former aircraft naming nomenclature system. Tachikawa manufactured 560[3] Ki-17s between 1936 and 1943 and the type saw service with the Army Air Academy and flight training schools.[2]

Die Tachikawa Ki-17 (alliierter Codename „Cedar“) war ein japanisches Schulflugzeug für Anfänger in Doppeldeckerauslegung. Ursprünglich war eine schwächer motorisierte Version der Ki-9 für diesen Zweck vorgesehen. Da diese Ki-9-Version jedoch ungeeignet war, wurde entschieden, stattdessen ein neues Flugzeug zu entwickeln – die Ki-17.
