Honda’s first light private jet, to be built in partnership with U.S. aircraft manufacturer Piper, is shaking up the bizjet business. Placing the engines over the wings instead of on the fuselage frees up space for passengers and bags, since the engines’ internal support structures move to the wing. And because the placement of the engines on the wings actually improves airflow, it reduces drag, making the HondaJet faster and more efficient than its competitors: The craft has a top speed of 480 mph and a range of 1,270 miles. $4 million; honda.com
