The 1st US deliveries of HondaJet are expected in 2010(European delivery in late 2012). That means I might be able to afford one in, oh…30 years. In the meantime, Honda Aircraft Company started moving into their new Greensboro, NC headquarters in May ‘08. Completion of the adjoining R&D and hangar facility are expected within the year as well as the start of construction for the production facility.

And finally, a show that’s not in California! The HondaJet will be making an appearance at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, WI(July 29-August 3).

When Hondas fly

It’s hard to believe in Honda much these days when they’re slowing killing off their race inspired street cars and choosing to cater to lazy fat Americans and huge utility vehicles.

While they might be(are) screwing up with their ground limited vehicles, the HondaJet is impressive at least on paper. It’s hot curves actually serve a purpose with over-the-wing mounted engines engineered so for lower drag and more interior space. These puppies are also fuel efficient and low on emissions. Who woulda thunk?
