;Historical Information

The "Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero" is the final mass-production (and perhaps most effective) variant of the Mitsubishi A6M.

Compared to the A6M2, the A6M5 had shorter wings and revised control surfaces while an improved exhaust system and cowling increased power delivery. Carbon dioxide-based fire extinguishers were added while the radio was updated. The A6M5 had a number of incremental updates throughout its various manufacturing lots.

The maximum speed was increased to 565 km/h at 6,000 m and it could reach that altitude in just over 7 min. Subvariants include the A6M5c, while the A6M6 and A6M7 (Model 62) were adapted from the A6M5.
