I think it's kinda strange the way the engines are.

Actualy they taught good about the engine position they also maid another prototype with other position of engines.
If i ever buy a jet this wil be it!

Interesting stuff, nice to see some design variations going on. Similar concept to the AN74, although I doubt you will see this beauty on the dirt strips of Africa.

Hey, that's a Honda, they don't loose engines. Is she ready for Tunning ? Great pic.

A visitor from Germany posted Wed August 9, 2006:
In the 1970s there was a German plane called VFW614 with similar engine position. That aircraft was desigend to have STOL capabilitys on dusty runways. So the wings could not be located on a far back position, like on a MD80 or 727. Engines have to be near the centre of lift. To prevent them from dust they were mounted above the wing.

A visitor from United States posted Wed August 9, 2006:
What's the advantage with mounting them above the wings vs mounting them MD80 style?

A visitor from United States posted Tue August 8, 2006:
It looks like the plane is smiling at you! great photo, terrible plane.

Cool shot

A visitor from Portugal posted Mon August 7, 2006:
This photo is great because was taken in a perfect angle,which you can have a good idea what are the position of the engines and the winglets.the colour is also perfect.

A visitor from United States posted Mon August 7, 2006:
Great! Now they make jets too...

A visitor from United States posted Mon August 7, 2006:
YOU JUST CAN'T GO WRONG WITH HONDA!

A visitor from United States posted Mon August 7, 2006:
Honda makes planes? Cool.

A visitor from United States posted Mon August 7, 2006:
Great contrast, very clear, unusual style where engines are located

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon August 7, 2006:
Nice wingsand tail good shot of cockpit

A visitor from Canada posted Mon August 7, 2006:
Wow
nice shot...

A visitor from United States posted Mon August 7, 2006:
It looks like this design will cause a lot more differential thrust in the event of a lost engine, not to mention that the thrust will always provide a nose down moment.

That's a funny one!!! :-)
