Re: Honda's New Jet
Pretty interesting. The first uniqueness that pops out is that the
engines are mounted above the wings. Perhaps it reduces the cabin noise
and vibration?
Seems Honda began thinking about it back in 1986.

... As I saw it, the job of the TMD was to kill a vibrational frequency that was being input by the tyres under certain loading conditions - I understood that, like any other part of the suspension, its job was to keep the wheels in contact with the ground as much as possible, and that the aerodynamic effect was small and secondary - I'm not persuaded that there are significant gains to be had by reducing the vibration of the wings with a TMD - surely it would be much easier to simply design the wing not to respond to the frequency in question. ... Aero-flutter is distinct from what I termed "suspension movement-induced aero surface flutter", i.e. externally excited, not aero loads. ...
