vertical rudders to keep the longitudinal axis of the torpedo in the sensed direction straight. Both the vertical rudder controller and the anti-rolling controller had their own gyroscope, which start rotating when the torpedo is released from an aircraft. Each gyro has dual ring support mechanisms to allow them to move freely. Anti-rolling controller The anti-rolling controller is a gyro-controlled air valve system which steers the roll rudders (or ailerons) on both sides of a torpedo and is composed of a gyroscope, a main controller, and an output booster. A spinning gyroscope senses the roll angle of the torpedo, and the controller then centers the roll by steering roll-rudders on both sides at an angle in the range of ±22.5°. The main controller controls two output air valves to steer and countersteer the roll rudders, according to the roll angle and its rate of change. It countersteers to correct the angle and its time derivative. The output booster or auxiliary valve has two inlets and two outlet ports. The output booster works as a pair of air shutoff valves. It is connected in cascade to the two output ports of the main controller. It switches on and off directly the two powerful high-pressure controlling air flows, one for clockwise twist and the other for counter-clockwise twist of the roll rudders. This is largely to ensure proper operation in heavy impact conditions. Tail section L = (to the tip end of propelling screw hub) Bevel gears drive coaxial contra-rotating double 4-bladed screws to propel the torpedo under the water and keep it running straight. The tail section has vertical and horizontal stabilizer fins in a cross. Each fin has a controlling rudder in aft. Horizontal fins and rudders have a wide span in a longitudinal direction and work proportionally, while vertical fins are small, and rudders have a very short span. Screws The propeller screws were coaxial contra-rotating double screws, with 4 propeller blades each. Each screw was wrought from a cubical mass of SK chromium-molybdenum alloy steel into a bold cross shape and punched through the centre. Hammering punches of 1tons and 3tons shaped the 4 blades. The propeller sections were compactly designed to allow the front screw and the rear screw to be only 5 mm apart. Kyoban stabilizer plates The Type91's tail fins were fitted with Kyoban wooden aerodynamic stabilizer plates. Introduced in 1936 these stabilized the torpedo
