Good one. I guess I'll have to give you one point for being a pilot.

I like the dubbing. The top mounted engines are definitively a bit odd though.

Too funny!

Several private, military & commercial pilots on here.

I'm a long out of current private SEL myself (SEL VFR 1978, & was working some on IFR up to `83), then I had to stop when the kids came along & the OC Fliers Club folded. Maybe my future retirement years will allow time & budget for some flying again.

and A&P mechanics

Obvious Photoshop is obvious ...

Isn't that repetitively redundant Andy?

And yes, several A&Ps on here too, without whom we cannot fly!

I flew Cesnas (172 and 182) a long time ago (back in the 70's) ... going for my commercial drone license soon

<sigh>

come on, it's funny... (and I didn't do them, they're on Jalopnik)

With Alonzo's success this year, or lack there of, he'd be better off in the Jet! It is ridiculous...

Engines on top of wing is not such a new thing. Been done before.

Bob, it was funny. Andy was just being "Captain Obvious obvious"!

Also the Germans had a few with jet engines mounted on/on top/above the wings back in WWII, mostly fared into the top of the wing or on the rear horizontal stabilizers from what I've seen, mostly experimental, design studies & a few actually flew (more than just these).

But none have the raucous engine sound of the Honda Jet in this video!

While not Porsche designs, Porsche did make some aircraft engines & there was a Porsche powered Mooney back in the 1980s! .... just so we have some Porsche content in here!
