J-TIPS Itoh Emi 24 Long-range single-seat open cockpit biplane (Hall-Scott 200hp). CofA 3.23, Bureau of Aeronautics. To T.Yoshida 8.24, CofA returned 3.25 due to aircraft being destroyed. Named "Akita-go". [The Itoh Emi 24 is shown in reference works as being completed 10.21 for an Imperial Flying Association competition. It was powered by a 320 hp 6-cyl inline water-cooled Maybach engine and was not a success. Converted to No.2 form as a private aircraft, it was presumably re-engined as shown above. One only built.]

Регистрационный номер: J-TIPS [2] The Itoh Emi 24 "Akita-go" Long-Range Biplane J-TIPS as originally fitted with a 320 hp Maybach airship engine and side radiators. It was nose heavy and offered poor forward vision for the pilot, so the radiators were replaced by a single unit between the undercarriage legs. It would appear from the evidence of the Register entry that it was later re-engined with a 200 hp Hall-Scott and used as a private aeroplane.

Регистрационный номер: J-TIPS [2] The revised radiator layout of the Itoh Emi 24 "Akita-go" clearly shows how the pilot's forward view would have been improved by placing the unit below the fuselage. The aircraft's name was in recognition of funding from sponsors in the Akita Prefecture of Japan.
