I saw one of these at RIAT a few years ago, and was seriously impressed. They were marketing it to the R A F, but we went with the Boeing P8. I think one of the major reasons must have been commonality, as several European and NATO air forces also took on the P8 around the same time, and being based on the proven and popular 737 airframe, Thais was understandable .

@@scotabot7826 Worry not. The P8 is NOT an airliner. About the only thing it shares with the 737 is the basic airframe and not the avionics used in the Max. Besides... there's nothing wrong with the design of the -800 variant of the 737 and it doesn't use the engine layout and type used by the Max, thus no MCAS on the P8 to begin with. There was nothing inherently wrong with Max's MCAS system either IF it was used correctly. It was being misused because the pilots that misused it Could... the 1st gen MCAS used on the Max had no default system to prevent misuse and the MCAS's augmented flight controls designed to make the Max handle like the earlier 737 variants could "argue" with the pilot's control inputs if used for take-off with high AOA which the MCAS would attempt to "correct" if used during takeoff by pitching the Max down. This is what happened with the two 737 Max airliners that crashed shortly after takeoff. Thus, Boeing had to reprogram the MCAS software to make it foolproof, seeing as how fools can be so ingenious... Moot point with the P8 since it doesn't use the Max's airframe or its MCAS to begin with.

Notice or not, let's check it out. Always liked this platform.

Meh it's not always fair competition, in fact it never is. The US in particular and I say this as an American veteran has no issue pressuring allied nations to adopt our tech even if it's the inferior solution for them. You have to remember America makes it's stuff first and foremost for itself. When it makes armored vehicles it takes note of the fact it will have to be transported across an ocean before it can fight and that it will be thousands of miles from a repair depot possibly. This is why the heaviest and best tank is probably the Israeli merkava not the American Abrams because the merkava doesn't have to worry about train tunnel dimensions and rail car transport limits. It doesn't have to worry about going far to get looked at or getting bogged down in wet mud. Likewise the Abrams is a worse tank for India which is worried about fighting way up high in the mountains and needs a highly maneuverable tank able to keep it's engine going in an oxygen starved environment. A powerful light tank from say South Korea or Japanese/Taiwan offering are better choices. But that doesn't mean the US wouldn't pressure them to accept American weapons regardless or that those countries wouldn't give in to that pressure as part of a larger diplomatic strategy. If India thinks buying the Abrams comes with access to f35 as well or a free trade deal or any other number of items they might decide to pick the worse tank. So desire isn't all that matters

The P-1 and C-2 are good looking aircraft

cool tech!

Looks like we're going to see it in action in the near future....

The UK had the option to buy some of these for our Maritime operations, Sadly, they went for the US Boeing P8 Poseidon system instead despite the Kawasaki outperforming it in every test. I believe the main reasons centred around cost and the existing relationship with the US. There may have been some interoperability factors as well though.

Where do you get your sources? Not just this video but in general.

Nice tool, specially at the beginning era of maritime drones.

P-1and P-8 are both excellent maritime patrol aircraft. They have slightly different strengths but both are capable of completing the same mission tasks. P-1 is better suited to low level searches while P-8 is better suited to high level searches. Ideally you would want some of both types to complement each other or partner with other countries that use the other type.

Top notch

In consideration of safety , stability , easy manouvering , handeling of an airplane , as well for best view all around , attagement optionds underneed the wings and or on flussalage of the plane , having the wings attached on top of the flugelage instead underneed , and the engine place on to of those wings instead of underneed , would be the most favorable and best option .

As long as it can fight off Godzilla, it will be a definite asset to any maritime system. Banzai!

Looks like the figured out how to move the APU further aft than it is on the P-3 without interfering with the MAD.

Opportunity to call the PX the P-10 was utterly squandered.

"Aided by Russian tech, China’s Type 096 ballistic missile submarine nears completion, threatening to outpace even the most advanced sub-hunting capabilities"...So we are flogging the P1... And what it's built to surveil and kill won't be in production for another 6 or 7 years? What a weird article. I just assumed the P1 existed because japan wanted to fund their own homegrown aircraft industry. I thought the P3 Orion was replaced by the P8 Poseidon in the US about 15 years ago.

just imagine the commode on the plane!

While the P1 is a beautiful looking and good MPA, its sad that no one else acquired any and that mostly every other nation that was seeking a new MPA went with the P8. Yet, they fit what Japan needs so all good.

The P-1 is an impressive aircraft. While it can extend its range beyond 8,000 Km by shutting down 2 of its engines, its is in no way more capable than the P-8 Poseidon. The P-1 is also more expensive than the P-8 Poseidon. While the P-1 will serve Japan well, it will not, in all likelihood, see service beyond Japanese forces.
