Utilizing several ingenious design details, the Zero fighter superseded most of the design requirement's that Japan's Navy asked for when commissioning the plane. Original elements such as flush rivets, aileron mechanics, and wing design helped to reduce drag and enhance maneuverability, allowing the Zero to stand up for itself in the most intense dogfights.
