We all mainly know Honda mostly for its cars, but the Japanese industrial giant makes a whole lot more than that. The company builds motorcycles, ATVs, marine engines, power equipment and soon enough will sell jet airplanes.
The new luxury aircraft will be released for public sale next year. Currently base priced at $4.5 million U.S. The jet cruises at 430 knots (483 mph / 777 km per hour) and is considered one of the most silent personal business aircraft ever created. The first production HondaJet is nearing completion and has had its GE Honda HF120 jet engines installed.
One of the innovations HondJet has brought is its over-the-wing engine mount, considering most small jets have their engines mounted on the back. According to its creators, it is a breakthrough in aeronautics, engineered after more than 20 years of extensive research and development.
