NAMC YS-11 Airliner 2 SOL'S Unisex Basic Zip Hoodie | SOL'S 01714

The NAMC YS-11 is a testament to Japan's post-war resurgence in the field of aviation, marking its bold entry into the commercial aviation market. Developed in the 1960s by the Nihon Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation, a consortium of Japanese companies, the YS-11 was Japan's first indigenous airliner since World War II. With a production run from 1962 to 1974, this turboprop airliner was designed to meet the growing demand for short to medium-haul routes, boasting a capacity of up to 64 passengers. The YS-11 quickly became a symbol of reliability and efficiency, serving not only domestic airlines but also international carriers across various continents. Its distinctive roar, courtesy of the Rolls-Royce Dart engines, earned it affection and recognition worldwide. Despite its eventual phase-out in favor of more modern aircraft, the YS-11 remains a proud legacy of Japan's aviation history, showcasing innovation, resilience, and the spirit of collaboration.
