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...

Bike or car? Project 2 and 4

I was thinking about bike cars and a documentary about them from dw tv which highlighted the revolutionary bike cars. They are aimed at reducing emissions and single transit of an individual to shorter distances. I was surprised to come around the news about bike cars. In particular a racing Ferrari-like car that is both bike and a car. The Project 2&4 concept. It is also the winner of  Honda design competition involving engineers and designers from both motorcycle and automotive studios. The concept is powered by a 999cc v4 engine. It has an rpm of 14000 ( revolution per minute: a measure of the frequency of rotation which is the number of rotations around a fixed axis per minute  and is a measurement of rotational speed of a mechanical component) which when calculated with torque(how strong an automobile is) calculates to around 211bph (break horsepower :how fast work can be done using the power).The clutch is a 6 speed dual transmission.
