Flying the New HondaJet

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.
