List of military aircraft of Japan

This list of military aircraft of Japan includes prototype, pre-production and operational types regardless of era.

Wikipedia policy is to use the Japanese names for these aircraft, not the World War II Allied codenames, although these will be redirects and mentioned in the article. They may be listed here for ease of reference. The prefix "Ki" in this list is an abbrevation of "Kitai", meaning "airframe", and was used only by the Japanese AAF. "Ki" should be read as one word, pronounced "Kee".
(note: a " - " means information unknown, not added, or not applicable)
