List of military aircraft of Japan
This list of military aircraft of Japan includes prototype, pre-production and operational types regardless of era. This includes both native Japanese designs, Japanese produced licensed copies of foreign designs, and foreign-produced aircraft that served in the military of Japan.
Japanese names are used here, not the World War II Allied codenames, although these will included here for ease of reference. The prefix "Ki" in this list is an abbreviation of "Kitai", meaning "airframe", and was used only by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force. "Ki" should be read as one word.
(Note: a " - " means the information is unknown, not yet added, or not applicable.)
Modern (post 1945)
