Oh yeah, I forgot about the MU. Are they still making those? or are
they just flying what they already have?

Actually, BMW started out making aircraft engines (hence their logo is
a stylized propeller), but they never made complete aircraft.

Dornier Amphibian (Do-24ATT) was at OSH this year:
".. and derives its power from three Pratt & Whitney PTA-45B turboprops,
which replaced the older original BMW radials."

"We've always had wings (focusing on the wing logo on a Honda
motorcycle). Now we're flying."


I like that...

Now, Mitsubishi made the Zeroes, I'm wondering why they're not making
aircrafts before Honda. BMW also made aircrafts, why are they not
getting into it again? I know that people have put their motorcycle
engines on homebuilts, but BMW are not supporting it.

I hope they get back into avaition again (Mitsubishi and BMW) more
sompetition will lower prices and add more selections for all of us.

Mitsubishi makes helicopters and a lot of major parts for Boeing, Bombardier
and possibly others.

Sorry I forgot about your MU-2 Mike. I don't know how that happened.

I have heard of Kawasaki teaming with Hughes/MD years ago, but not
Mitsubishi. Thanks for that info.

Besides the MU-2, Mits made the Diamond jet, which later became the Beechjet
aka "Mitsubeechi".
