It was the last Super Sentai series to not be turned into a Power Rangers series before Ressha Sentai ToQger and was inspired by Kagaku Ninjatai Gatchaman.

Plot Chjin Sentai Jetman

This television series takes set in 1991 on the Earth Ship, the headquarters of Sky Force, an international defence organisation that serves as the planet’s peacekeeper. Scientists have created “Birdonic Waves” in the ship, a brand-new technology that grants the subject superhuman skills.

The “J-Project” experiments were a success. The project’s director, Aya Odagiri, picked five top Sky Force representatives from Earth to use this technology.

One of the Sky Force officers named Ryu Tendo successfully exposed himself to the Birdonic waves, becoming the Red Hawk, the first Jetman.

However, Vyram, an evil extradimensional group bent on interdimensional dominance, suddenly attacks the Earth Ship. In the ensuing turmoil, they successfully destroy the ship, killing Ryu’s partner and fellow prospective member Rie.

Four civilians are struck by the four leftover Birdonic waves that were intended for the other four officials. After making a successful escape, Odagiri and Ryu start looking for the four remaining Jetmen on Earth and train them to help them thwart Vyram’s aspirations to rule our dimension.
