Honda's experimental MH02 aircraft of 1993 pushed the boundaries of what could be achieved with exotic materials and innovative design. Remarkably, this 11.2-metre span experimental craft achieved 654 km/h from twin engines—approaching jet aircraft speeds on piston power. The symmetrical fuselage and compact layout suggest emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency and advanced construction techniques.
