Honda HA-420 lightweight jet from Honda Aircraft company

How it started

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Honda has been known for its line of automobile range of products

including bikes and cars over many years before 2003.Honda shifted

business to manufacturing aircrafts.Honda Aircraft Company was formed

in order to receive certification. Commercialisation began in 2006

when it introduced the hondajet in EAA Air Venture Air Show

inWiskonsin.



Other aviation products include the sale of its single fan and twin

turbine engine to both cessna and airbus.



Exterior

'''''''''''''''

The body is made of lightweight aluminium which reduces its

bodyweight.It can carry maximum weight of upto 4000kg. Smoothened

single sheet of aluminium surface equally reduces drag as compared to

other common methods.



Turbine and engines are above the wings.The engineers state that the

design helps in increasing space below the fusealage to reduce drag

and furthermore create more space in the cabin.Most aircrafts have

engines below the wings which they think accounts for reduced speed.



Engineers state that about 30percent of fuel is saved as compared to

equally the same lightweight jets.



Interior

'''''''''''''

The cabin can accomodate a maximum of four passengers and 2 crew

members.The cockpit, Germian G3000 is different compared to

otheraircrafts.It consists of glass with a touchscreen interface.



Aircraft can moves up to a maximum speed of 780km/h and can cover a

distance of around 2000km.



Commercialisation is expected soon after the manufacturers receive

certification.Buying price is about $5million.

Amazing lego air-powered car

Air powered cars have once been my idea when I worked on a balloon powered car project.I presented it on science congress contest upto the District level.It was not a welcoming idea since my concept was not well developed.It only featured a ballon for propulsion. The lego air powered car invention is definitely a breakthrough for a group funded project.It is said to be built with 500,000 legos except for the tyres.The inventor claims that he was neither a technology nor a lego enthusiast!!! Click image to purchase acer chromebook.                                The group was funded by 40 donors through a twitter request.It is said to have costed more money than the initial budget.The automobile has been test driven and runs upto a maximum speed of 18mph/40kmh. Engine consists of pistons to compress air which maybe, provided the desirable kinetic energy(energy in motion).This energy propels the car forward.Ho...

Characteristics that make a good online IT entrepreneur

An online IT business is definitely an envy to many to many entrepreneurs.  It is easy to setup and costs less. Many people often succeed in this venture. However, a person needs to have important attributes and traits during the initial years of the business.

Sometimes the rewards can be  disappointing but you should know that a business is a risk an...

Producing electricity from roads

A mexican scientist Marcias Hernandez has developed a system through which can help generate electricity using automobiles. The concept he developed is not new because other methods exists but is cheaper and less complicated. Other conventional methods have been using  pizoelectric effect to generate electrity. Energy is driven from the stress exerted by moving vehicles. The energy is then coverted into electricity and stored in batteries by the roadside. Marcias new invention involves the use of trumps, which moving vehicles exert pressure when running over a polymer ramp. Air is then forced at high pressure into a storage tank via hose pipes where it is stored and released. When it accumulates, it drives a turbine built underground. The turbine will then use this kinetic energy to be converted into electric energy by the generators. Israel has already constructed such a road system that is able to generate electricity.
