The Japanese long lance type 93 was a 24-inch monster weighing almost 6000 lbs. The air-dropped weapon was the type 91, 450mm (17.7in) in diameter with a weight in the 1700-2300 lb range depending upon mod. There were Japanese torpedoes developed using the long lance's oxygen propulsion system, but I'm not aware of any air-dropped models in service.
