| Histoire résumée | The Kayaba gliders were developed to investigate the characteristics of tailless aircraft, and other than a 1938 private venture, the HK-1, manufactured by the Ito Airplane Works, were sponsored by the Japanese Army. The HK-1 was designed by Dr. Hidemasa Kimura based on an idea by pioneer aviator Kumazo Hino, the first person to fly an airplane in Japan, in 1910. Tests with the HK-1 led to Army interest, and Dr. Kimura, later to become Professor of the Science and Engineering Department, Nippon University, during the post-war years, responded with the KU-2. | ||||||
