The Japanese had one plane called the Nakajima Ki-115 that was designed with suicide missions in mind. It had a wooden frame and whatever engine they had handy at the time, and could carry a lot of gas and a big bomb. In other words, it was just something cheap they threw together because if you're just going to go out and crash it into a ship all it's got to be able to do is fly. The Ki-115 had landing gear the pilot could jettison the landing gear so they could pick it up and put it on another plane. They used very few of these.

Why were kamikaze missions so effective?
Because they could take whole aircraft carriers. It's not that easy to shoot down a large group of planes flying right at you.
Why did the Japanese resort to kimokaze attacks?
The Japanese resorted to Kamikaze attacks because the planes could take out the U.S. ships but this wasn't very effective because they usually missed. EHS?

How many kamikaze airplanes were involved in the attack of Pearl Harbor?
There were 353 planes total used during the attack on Pearl Harbor. However, NONE OF THEM were kamikaze missions. Kamikaze missions did not begin until late in the war 1943-44 or later. However, there are some anecdotal accounts of planes crashing into ships during the Pearl Harbor attack, but these were not kamikaze pilots. Rather, some Japanese pilots decided that, if their planes were badly damaged and their lives were therefore to be lost anyway, then they would fly into an enemy target instead of diving into the sea. They did not have the intention of being kamikazes. Rather, they agreed to strike an enemy target instead of crashing into the ocean. For example, First Lieutenant Fusata Iida told his comrades that he planned to fly into a "worthy enemy target" if his plane was irreparably damaged and the alternative was to crash into the sea. Either way, he would be dead. This is very different from "kamikaze." Kamikaze missions sent pilots (well trained ones at that) into the air with the sole purpose of crashing into an enemy target. Kamikaze wasn't a last ditch effort on the part of a pilot who was going down anyway. Kamikaze pilots intended to commit suicide before taking off.
Can planes take off and land at same time?
No because the air around the plane has pressure. If two planes take off at the same time the planes will crash. The planes might crash if they land at the same time.
Why are the wheels on the plane tucked in after take off?
If they were left out the plane would become less aerodynamic; it would take more fuel to go the same distance and speed.It is also because the height at which planes fly have less air pressure as we know air travels from high pressure to low pressure the air inside the wheels comes and the wheel burst out
