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. [1] 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.[ citation needed] The wings are slightly anhedral and the two engines are above them.[ citation needed]
The prototype is currently in a museum in Japan.[ citation needed][ where?]
Its successor is the Honda MH02, a jet that uses the same configuration and uses exclusively composite materials.[ citation needed]
