HondaJet private jet review | British GQ 

just imagine VTEC kicking in at 30000 feet

4:23 - Handles well on roads also.

I'm pretty sure winglets are not used to generate lift but are used to reduce wingtip vortices.

I was privileged to fly on board one of these beauties when I was in Osaka. She really is a beauty and is beautifully made. That good old Honda reliability!

When is the type r version coming out?

I know these Honda Jets are relatively new to the market but just the name Honda instills a notion of reliability and thus I imagine will sell well.

Fully customizable too, you can put chrome rims , tinted windows. Don’t forget Subwoofers

$5m seems like a shockingly reasonable price for a jet like this

Ive followed the development of the HondaJet from way back in 2003, when they showcased a demonstration model at the festivals of speed in St. Petersburg Florida. Right from the jump standing their face to face with its brilliance it was clear to see what a game changer the aircraft would mean for the Private Jet industry. And when you really consider what your getting for its price of 5 million, that's really peanuts in todays world when many folks are spending that on small boats and sports cars. Ironically the demo Honda Jet was in fact placed in the Boat and Yacht pavilion of the show. Knowing full well where the money was at. But it is when you consider what the aircraft provides that you truly understand why its worth every single penny, and is in fact a bargain, as your getting Big Boy features some only found on much much larger aircraft of a completely different class. The Honda Jet has great range great speed, exceptional performance and efficiency. The comfort of its cabin, a lavatory , plenty of luggage space, capable of single pilot operations with the best of Garmin Avionics, with operational ease that pushes such an aircraft to becoming more akin to the spirit of Honda's excellence in ease of use. More over, such an aircraft boasts of so many highlights that its notoriety has gained it rare superstar status. Its makes for a great investment, for either private ownership or even those who desire to level up their fleet with something far better than the sorts of aircraft typically flown in its size class. In other words, its a big deal.

i'm $200 in debt yet im watching this😅😅😅😅

1:20 Those wingtips, while large and very effective, do not "generate lift." They reduce induced drag by decreasing the effect of wingtip vortices- caused by high pressure air below the wing slipping up and over the tip of the wing to the low pressure air. They DO increase efficiency, but not from increased lift, rather from decreased drag.

The upward extensions on the wingtips are called "winglets" and they do not produce lift. They reduce induce drag by preventing the formation of wingtip vortices or the spiraling of air when the upper and lower airflow meet on the tip of the wings

Winglets reduce drag by moving wingtip vortices away from the wingtips. They are not lifting devices.

A great looking aircraft. I worked on the larger airlines planes. I flew on a Gulf Stream once. it was very nice and quick!

Thank you for the review! I can't wait to buy this myself!

What's the name of the background song? I know i have it in spotify, but dont remember the name

Soon you’ll be able to get extra spoilers from Halfords for that Big Boy 747 look.

Can't wait to see them used and cheap in a few years... Hope they make and sell a lot of them, so the used market will be huge! :D

Will these engines fit in my Honda?

Good review, I'll certainly bear this one in mind when I'm shopping for my next private jet. Cheers

does it comes with sport rims? It should have the option for body kit upgrade.

Great video that you have shown us. Thanks.

There was one spent a few weeks at Leeds East Airport (Ex RAF Church Fenton) a couple of years ago

I took a tour of their factory and was very impressed by their facility and professionalism.

Can you tell me what sound Track was used in this Video, Thanks

Does it come with a parachute for when the single pilot strokes out?

Even if I could afford one, I think I would still fly with easyJet. Nice to see some video of Padstow though 😎 Cornwall is a heavenly place to be.

0:50 can somebody explain to me why it is more aerodynamically efficient? I can't really understand it.

What is the music in the video?

When will you be reviewing the Phenom 100 EV and the Pilatus PC-24?

How much distance it can fly after refueling?

I would love a ride on one of these Honda Jets

Thanks, helped me make my mind up on whether or not I should get one 👍🏾

My company just purchased one, it’ll be interesting to see how it is when it arrives. I’ve been told they are “easy” to fly.

Thanks GQ for giving us a review for something we can’t afford

Thank you for this video.

What are the refund policies and should i buy this on ebay or amazon? Will there be any discount on Black Friday?

i just ordered mine, excited.

Thank you! I was going to buy a 747 Private Jet but now i know what to buy instead❤

A Phenom 100 has a fully functional lavatory.......

really love this small jet

4:47 the shot I was waiting the whole video for

I just love this jet , I wish I could have got one .. I wish ..

at what height does vtec kick in???

why m i watching a private jet video

1) 0:41 - Notice the nose gear is partially disassembled. 2) The vertical wing tips, do they actually "generate lift" as the guy said, or do they just control the vortex so that the vortex doesn't reduce lift?

I wonder if I can find one at the nearest Honda dealership

That's great presentation brother

I can't wait for the Type R version!

Does it comes with v-tech?

I wish this were transatlantic capable. I would love to have a single pilot light jet with range of 4000+ miles.

Can't wait for the more luxurious AccuraJet!

All touch screen in the cockpit sounds like a downgrade. What happens if the touch screen does that weird thing where when you click on something is spazzes out and selects another option on the other part of the screen? What if the touch responses stop working?

I wonder if they have plans to make a larger one.

The upper skin of the wing is an exquisite piece of sculpture, machined from a single block of aluminium. It's a shame it's not visible. Whether or not it makes economic sense to own depends on your mission profiles and annual hours, but not having to deal with the cattle pens of commercial terminals or the security grope-apes is worth a lot.

Can you get more power out of it with a simple Hondata Flashpro tune?

Excellent spectacular. Saludos desde Buenos Aires Argentina. 👍😎

Proud to live in and fly out of Greensboro, NC where this beautiful aircraft is produced. The person who owns the plane I fly, and his flight instructor, work for HondaJet and I've only heard good things about the company. My girlfriend also knows the founder's son, Mark, which is pretty cool. It's quite a cool thing sharing the same airspace with multiple HondaJets, which is just an amazing aircraft and looks badass. Great video!

Nice review but don't let that distract you from the fact Hector has 3 Honda Jets with Spoon engines

What a great looking plane. I know that space is compromised, but with a cruising speed of some 485 M.P.H.you should get to your destination in a timely manor., while you enjoy the view out the window or have the pilot show how to fly the plane then you could act as Co pilot if the need arose.

Was waiting for the Vtec to kick in

Whats the song?

Compared to other Jets, how was the interior noise of the Honda Jet

What is max range of this jet on single tank?

Very nice!

Looks nice, but I don't get private jet ownership. At $5M (which is cheap), that can get you something like 1,000 Business Class or 500 First Class tickets. And I'm not even factoring in paying the pilots, fuel, maintenance, hangar fees, etc, which are very expensive over time. I understand the exclusivity and time factor, but it's a steep price to pay in my eyes when commercial Business/First product these days from Emirates, Singapore, and the like are so nice.

Oh wow you really sold me im going to buy one!

Gimme the HondaJet Mugen!

Name of the track playing in the background please?

Does this come in a 6 speed manual?

Track?

Great video, great video , good music $5,000,000 is a great deal for a honda jet. I would buy it if i was rich and travelled often

Excellent superb video

Does it have the green leaf eco mode

does it have VTEC?

Great 👍overview. Cute✈ jet, 💖 wonderful🌄 views.

Does it have neon lights in it and big spoilers?

Do they have long range tanks?

Bit expensive but I go on holiday in Rock/Padstow so this would be ideal!😂

Beautiful. I bought a used Honda Jet.

Don't know how this video popped up on my feed but it's funny because I actually work at Honda jet in production where I, alongside other workers, am working on it every day putting it together. Weird to see it on a GQ video on RU-vid.

What kind of watch is that? 2:30

Are they going to make a Type R Version?

does it have toiler onboard

Wingtip generate lift?? I thought it reduces wing vortex....

@3:16 Is the reason why I'm not having a toilet in mine. With the extra space I'm able to have a reclining seat 😁

Why is there exposed wiring at 0:58 ?

Finally, a Honda that looks good with a huge fin on the back.

I will trade my Civic for one of these...

Does a Honda jet need a Honda Pilot?

Now I think I can think of buying my own private jet. It's great for small business owners like me

Where can i but this thing.

but does it have a AUX??

Maybe years down the road, it would be cool to see hondas very on jet engine in a honda drag/jet car or even motorcycle.

which music is in background

where are the analogue​ backup instruments

'No Power! No Power!'

loved it.

Good one ,nice masterpiece.

How much is it?
