Honda MH01

The Honda MH01 is an experimental business jet developed by the Japanese company Honda, in cooperation with the Raspet Flight Research Laboratory of Mississippi State University.

Using the airframe of a Beechcraft Bonanza, Honda sought to incorporate composite materials into a metal aircraft, the first this had been done in a business aircraft. The goal was also to gain experience in aircraft design and construction. Although at the time there was a twin engine with the engines above the wings (the VFW-Fokker 614), this arrangement used in the MH01 was unusual. The wings are slightly anhedral and the two engines are above them.

The prototype is currently in a museum in Japan.

Its successor is the Honda MH02, a jet that uses the same configuration and uses exclusively composite materials.
