Based on the successful Kawasaki C-1 transport, this was a one-off Quiet STOL research aircraft, developed by the National Aerospace Laboratory. Powered by four FRJ710 turbofan engines and making use of the Coandă effect. It was built to research STOL using upper surface blowing, aircraft noise reduction, fly-by-wire systems and composite materials construction and is now displayed at the Kakamigahara Aerospace Museum outside Gifu Air Base. The small Japanese 航空宇宙技術研究所 titles stand for National Aerospace Laboratory.

One of several unique types seen only in Japan is the P-1, designed to supersede the JMSDF's Orions. First flown in 2007, initial deliveries took place in 2013 and as many as 70 may eventually be acquired. In early January 2015, it was even offered as a potential replacement for the UK's axed Nimrods
