The OpenSky M-02/M-02j is a Japanese primary glider/jet-powered motor glider inspired by the Möwe aircraft flown by the protagonist in the Hayao Miyazaki anime Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.[1] It is a tail-less design intended to be powered on take off and climb for a duration of 10 minutes, then flown unpowered as a glider. As of June 2006, two aircraft prototypes have been constructed, and one has successfully completed a series of 10 unpowered test flights where it flew 98 meters and achieved an altitude of 4 meters after being tow-launched by a tensed elastic cable.[2][3] The project is led by artist Kazuhiko Hachiya and design by Satoru Shinohe and manufactured by Aircraft Olympos. The Jet engine installed version, M-02J, had public demonstration flight in June 2016 at Takikawa, Hokkaido.[4]

Variants

• Möwe 1/2 (メーヴェ1/2) — sub-scale, radio-controlled development aircraft
• M-01 — unpowered development aircraft
• M-02 a total of 2 airframes of M-02 were built, 1 for preliminary gliding practice and 1 for installing Jet engine with no intention to mass-production.[5] The glider version airframe is a collection of 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa since 2008.[6]
  • M-02J (14 June 2007) Modified M-02 airframe has had a Jet engine installed.[7] (14 April 2010) Vehicle M-02 has undergone high speed taxi tests at Fukusima Sky Park runway, in order to evaluate stability and acceleration. More details of the jet engine assembly are available, and the engine has a considerable separation from the walls of the engine pod, in order to permit better cooling and prevent the wood and composite airframe from encountering an excessive fire risk.[8]

L'OpenSky M-02/M-02j è un motoaliante con motore a reazione giapponese ispirato al mehve, il velivolo usato dalla protagonista del manga ed anime del regista Hayao Miyazaki Nausicaä della Valle del vento.[2] Si tratta di un aeromobile senza coda che va attivato in decollo e che permette un'ascesa della durata di 10 minuti, quindi pilotato senza motore come aliante. A giugno 2006, ne sono stati costruiti due prototipi, di cui uno ha completato con successo una serie di dieci voli di prova non alimentati, percorrendo una distanza di 98 metri e raggiunto un'altezza di 4 dopo essere stato trainato da un cavo elastico a trazione.[3][4] Il progetto è stato ideato dall'artista Kazuhiko Hachiya e da Satoru Shinohe e realizzato da Aircraft Olympos. La versione installata con motore Jet, M-02J, ha avuto un volo dimostrativo pubblico nel giugno 2016 a Takikawa, Hokkaidō.[5]
