Many have come to appreciate the HondaJet's innovative and unique design that was born from a goal of revolutionizing aerodynamics. Why are the engines mounted over the wings? What does the configuration achieve besides the unique, iconic looking? Watch as our host, Josh, walks you through the development of the HondaJet’s signature design feature, the Over The Wing Engine Mount.

    I read the white paper on the Honda jet's engine mounts, honestly was really interesting for me as an engineering student at the time. Also I think reading that changed my opinion on 'reinventing the wheel'. Turns out, in a specialized enough focus, you are better off reinventing the wheel instead of trying to shove a less efficient existing solution into your very niche design.

    • @KarlenBell
      @KarlenBell Год назад +7

      Yeah, that's what Elon Musk said when he reflected on Tesla's first electric car. It would've been better to reinvent electric cars than to make a car (Lotus) change from gas to electric.

    Extraordinarily well done and informative. Just the right amount of tech and infographics without dumbing it down or making it inaccessible to non-engineers. Not an easy feat when it comes to explaining technology. Well done.

    I have always had a soft spot for Hondas. The younger version of myself got into motorcycles. My first “bike” was a 50cc “Bridgestone”, but then came the Hondas, a 305 scrambler and a CB350. While my friends worked on their British bikes all the time and cleaned up the oil drippings, I was generally enjoying a ride with a young lady. The one that would become my wife of 50+ years was a frequent passenger on the 350. Work and life’s demands took me away from biking for several decades (then the Harley arrived - until the MDs took that away). However along the way we discovered the quality and reliability of Honda cars. The Frau has had two Accords and I have had an insight and a CR-V. While I must admit they certainly are not a fun to drive as the Corvette I once had, nor as gorgeous and sexy as my new toy - an SLK roadster - the Hondas sure are reliable. All 4 Hondas combined were in the shop for non- scheduled service repairs less that a single Ford Escape I foolishly purchased, and even less that the SLK, and are certainly far less expensive to fix. I am sure there will be a Honda in our life for as long as we own vehicles. If I needed a jet, the Honda Jet would be considered, at least as a “time shared” plane. Honda makes good stuff, the Mrs. even opted on a Honda lawn mower.

    I am biased against corporate self-appreciative marketing. However this video is really cool and very well put together, doesn't feel (much) like an extended ad and finds a love balance between the science and the "cool airplane stuff".

    Honda engineers have done a pretty good job in applying that concept to a business jet.
    I don´t want to bust your claim this design configuration is new but I think the Honda engineers looked around what designs have ever been studied but been unsuccessful for the lack of research capabilities ...
    Just have a look at the VFW-614 (made in 1961): ruclips.net/video/zx1z8fxuCKI/видео.html&pp=ygUHVkZXLTYxNA%3D%3D
    Albeit larger being a regional airliner it has exactly the same configuration and the engineers at the time had exactly the same advantages in mind (weight reduction/preventing FOD/easy maintenance/largest cabin space out a the given fuselage length)
    Unfortunately wing design was not as advanced as it is today and the VFW-614 lacked in performance due to not having the optimum wing design and engine positioning (and ultimately non-support after VFW was taken over by Fokker who was not going to jeopardize their F-28 sales ...) and ultimately there was initially no suitable engine availlable on the market and when RR made a tailored engine for the aircraft it had serious reliability issues ...
    So, potential customers were not impressed.
    Honda seems to have done a much better job overall. Congrats.

    You (Honda) produced an ingenious aircraft/ engine design (as you well know). Thinking about this design got me thinking about wingtip engines. there is a researcher who is expermenting with wingtip engines with R/C models. Interesting engineering (for me). Thanks for creating and uploading this informative video.

    エンジンの翼上配置のアイデアは昔から存在していたのでしょうが、実際の機体に応用するには困難であり、あらゆるメーカーがコンセプト設計の段階で候補から外していたのでしょうね。
    その困難な課題に敢えて挑戦して辛抱強く研究開発を続けていったエンジニア達、米国での型式認定取得という高いハードルを速やかにかつ確実に越えるために経験豊富な米国企業と連携する選択・調整を行った担当者達等の信念が垣間見えた様な気がします。
    既存メーカーと同じ物を造っても追いつけない、全く違うアプローチをするんだという、新規参入勢の覚悟がとても格好良いと思いました。
    理論は昔からあったものの、実際の製品化が諦められていたロータリーエンジンを信念をもって開発したマツダと同様に、エンジニア魂を感じられる開発ストーリーだと思います。
