For reciprocating-engine and turboprops, yes. But smallish jets routinely hit that speed. 480mph is about 420 knots, which is very possible.

Was I the only person that noticed that they state he's 44 now yet was 24 in 1984?

Can't wait to slap a Type-R sticker on one of those.

Stickers can bring that puppy up to 600MPH no problem.

So what!!! GM or Ford can build one that costs $500 million and goes at 3 MPH.

At least it'll have some torque

it may be expensive, but your paying for the fastest 0-3mph accelerating engine ever put into a modern transportation vehicle.

Should see a riced up version driven by Vin Diesel in the next fast and furious.

Yummy. It is right around here too in Greensboro. Can't wait for more news from Honda Aircraft Company.

Nice wing on the back

It makes it go faster

I bet that think doesn't even have NOS! I didn't see it mounted over the back seat.

That was just a NOS branded fire extinguisher.

Making people think that it is NOS is what makes the plane faster.
