Honda Jet plane uses 20% less fuel than competition

You'd have never heard of that Honda are making jet plane these days. Yes, they're, they've even rolled out a jet plane that offers 20% better in fuel efficiency than the competition. And there are 4 factors that give the Honda jet plane with the super efficiency in fuel consumption as follows:

1. Over-the-wing engine mount - You'll need to have an aeronautical engineering degree to understand this. Such an engine mount allows for the reduction of aerodynamic interference, noises and thus lower overall drag. Thus it shall need less power to drive this plane.

2. Improved natural-laminar flow Because they used carbon composites and resins, the design team were able to shape the fuselage in such a way that drag is further reduced. This makes the shape of this Honda plane different from others'; they redirect the air-flow in a more optimal way compared to the typical "straight" fuselages.

3. All-composite fuselage The all-composite fuselage also makes the plane lighter, and thus more fuel-efficient.

4. New engine designed for fuel-efficiency The engine was designed by the team-up between Honda and GE which consists of high-tech fluid dynamics software to optimize airflow within the compact engine, maximizing performance.

Great plane, you can fly further with same amount of fuel using the Honda jet plane.
