YS-11 Japanese Turboprop Airliner Bella + Canvas Hoodie

The YS-11, Japan's first postwar commercial aircraft, soared into the skies and captured the world's attention. Manufactured by the Nihon Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation, a consortium of Japanese companies, this turboprop airliner made its maiden flight in 1962. With over 180 units produced until 1974, the YS-11 served airlines across the globe, from Asia to the Americas. Designed to carry 60 passengers, it was celebrated for its reliability and performance, often operating in rugged conditions. The YS-11 symbolized Japan's resurgence in the aviation industry, showcasing technological prowess and innovation. It held a special place in the hearts of aviation enthusiasts and was affectionately nicknamed 'the Japanese Electra' for its resemblance to the Lockheed L-188 Electra. The YS-11's legacy continues, with some still in service, testament to its enduring design and engineering excellence.
