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.

Flying cars?Skycar

The skycar is an invention developed in 2009 by the skycar expedition team. The team included aviation engineer, Gilo Cardozo, a reknowned paraglider and inventor of parajet.He is also known for successfully flying to Mount Everest in his Wankel rotary-powered Parajet.It is an improvement of the balloon car. Cardozo explained, "the skycar can move from road mode to flymode in 3minutes." ZIt could take off after attaining an average speed of 35mph when switched to fly mode. The Skycar was to be different from other flying cars through its method of staying aloft. In the prototype stages, the vehicle used a similar method of flight as Cardozo's Parajet -- a parawing that is force-fed with air by a large fan. The fan was driven by a 140-horsepower Yamaha sportbike engine.The team said that an air speed of 100 mph was possible at an altitude of 2,000 to 3,000 feet. It was expected to accelerate from 0-60mph in 45 seconds. The team made its test flight between London and Tumuk...

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.
