AIN’s Matt Thurber recently flew the new HondaJet HA-420 at Honda Aircraft Company’s Greensboro, North Carolina production facility. The new business jet is the first offering from the subsidiary of the Japanese auto maker. The aircraft is designed to be flown by one or two pilots, and can seat four to six passengers. A standout feature of the jet is the over-the-wing engine mounting, which maximizes cabin space, and improves aerodynamics and fuel efficiency.

The upscale model is called the Acura jet.

@madisonareadroneservice5605 7 лет назад

Having seen this jet in person at EAA in Oshkosh, WI this year (2016), I can say it was one of my favorite planes there (second in line behind the P-51 mustang, which there were plenty there this year!). Honda has done an amazing job. Looking right at that jet definitely gives me a life goal - I can only hope some day I could experience what it would be like to own that. The sheer amount of engineering they had to accomplish in such a short amount of time is astounding. Bravo, Honda.

@flyguy5941 7 лет назад

I have been watching Honda's progress on this jet. I have been flying since 1991 and can't wait to get my hands on this plane!

@RealStuntPanda 7 лет назад

I love the cockpit interior. Honda's experience with automobile interiors really helped them out on this one. It looks like a high end car instead of the typical functional but inelegant cockpit of most aircraft. You can tell it was designed instead of engineered.

I've flown near these things a few times, being based in GSO. Beautiful aircraft. I also work at a CFA near the airport where a bunch of Honda mechanics and engineers come in and we get talking about their work sometimes. Very cool, hard working bunch of people with an amazing aircraft! It'd be a dream come true to be able to get to fly in, let alone fly this beautiful aircraft. Someday :)

@THEfromkentucky 7 лет назад

Wow, same price and passenger count as a Socata TBM 900. 20% shorter range, but 27% faster with a comparable payload. That's pretty compelling for a regional business jet.

@THEfromkentucky 7 лет назад

Socata TBMs are powered by Turboprops, not Turbojets. I compared them because they're in the same price range.

@appleglory 7 лет назад

The tbm would have lower fuelburn and better STOL

@THEfromkentucky 7 лет назад

It would, but that's usually not a concern for private jet flyers.

@Lancaster604 7 лет назад

@v12kid 8 лет назад

How is the view off the nose? The console looks a bit high or is that just the camera angle?

@BillDownhill 7 лет назад

Just a hypothesis, but it seems to have that sport car feel. Larger interior consoles for better information viewing, while the exterior slopes enough to give you an unobstructed view. It’s not like a single engine plane where you see the entire cowling while you look down at tiny indicators and a personal tablet on the yoke.

@SLTravel11 7 лет назад

One day my dream is to have my own small plane and fly high above the clouds and stay there forever.

Very nice and lightweight jet. Its a superb alternative to small engine dual prop planes. I have NOT flown one yet, but the plane looks very promising. Cool video.

@whiteribbonman1 7 лет назад

+Rea Ality As a loyal American, AND PATRIOTIC veteran, *I* will ALWAYS prefer my 1961 Chevrolet Apache & 1975 Ford Gran Torino to anything any Japanese or Korean auto maker can put on American highways / Interstates. There ARE Americans that do not care. I do. No Japanese electronic parts to leave me stranded. No on - board computer stuff to fail.

@madisonareadroneservice5605 7 лет назад

I can understand the patriotic pride, but in all reality the "imports" are essentially the new domestics. A high majority of the popular "import" vehicles now contain a higher american parts percentage than most domestics. Add to that, most are assembled right here in the USA by guys like you and me. If you want to support America, buy a Honda or a Toyota. Forget about a Mexican / Chinese Chevrolet. I will also say, that with my experience as a Master ASE certified technician, the quality of the "import" brands typically far exceed the majority of the domestics (although I do feel Ford in particular is doing an excellent job).

@mipmipmipmipmip 7 лет назад

Developing a jet allowed into global airspace is not an easy task. Just the legal part of it is a nearly impossible task. Why Honda wants to start in this risky industry is anyone's guess, the profitability is questionable.

@rjmj7725 7 лет назад

Honda know what they are doing....... ever heard of a learjet car ?? no right ...... still they make learjets dont they .... ..... likewise, private jet market is huge !!!

@shoominati23 7 лет назад

I bet they will bring out a larger 600 model later on in the game.

@modelcitizen72 7 лет назад

Soichiro was mad at them for taking front dual wishbone suspension out of the Civic. The execs know that Soichiro would haunt them by reengineering their genitalia to work upside down only.

michaelwni True, but flying to and from Hawaii is boring. The Honda Jet is perfect for island hopping though. Easily ferried over from the mainland with internal ferry tanks, or just shipped.

@DoubleGauss 6 лет назад

Just what I was going to say. When you want to get to the mainland, board a real airplane. Keep the airborne Civic for island hopping.

@regil93 7 лет назад

´4.5 is not that much money

@Mamo878 7 лет назад

@598133 7 лет назад

+ChrisJohnson2K Thats if he goes to a Part 141 school, now if he goes to a Part 91 school its gonna be a fraction of that cost depending on where he lives. Don't try toturn people away from aviation by throwing big numbers at them. Instead ask them to find a local airport and talk to the FBO there about flying lessons. We already have dwindling numbers as it is.

It looks a bit unconventional, but that would be because it is! I mean it is a Honda! Nice looking aircraft.

@addicz2 7 лет назад

You are right. Because its Honda. They are always take the hardest routes.

@BillDownhill 7 лет назад

Engines mounted on the fuselage cause drag. It's air pressure that builds up between the two. That's why newer small jets have depressions in the fuselage where the engine is mounted. It gives more room for that air to move. Wing mounting the engines on long supports likely eliminated that type of drag entirely. The only unconventional thing here is that they're top mounted engines. But that's fine since they're well above and behind the wing.

@fr-tigerfangs7039 5 лет назад

If you look at the aircraft configuration more closely, you'll see that yes, it's unconventional, but: 1/ it's by no means a real first (the VFW614 also had a similar, upper wing-installed engines); 2/ it's brilliant! Engine pylons are shaped backward so that the wings themselves protect the nacelle's air intake from absorbing ground debris during TO/landing phases. Also, the wings block some of the engine noise, a plus for airport neighbours. And engines are positioned sufficiently aft of the wing to not block the view outside for aircraft passengers. Brilliant.
