I think the Honda turbofan engine is for real, and may be the final nail

in

the
coffin of the Eclipse.  GM had the ideal small aircraft engine on their

test

stand about 30 years ago - a sidewheeler regen gas turbine that had on

point

specific of better than 0.5. but it and the GM Wankel fell under the
corporate ax  as a victum of the CAFE rulings- Vance
