Honda makes Jet Aircraft

[crab]

Over $1700 for a fill-up in that thing

 

[FleshLight]

Thing is, the damn plane has to satisfiy FAA regulations so you can't just slap on a tri-wing composite spoiler so your plane can surpass Mach 2.

 

[crab]

$300,000 to fill this :Q

 

[TrueBlueLS]

I'm surprised no one made a comment about the power of VTEC in this Honda.

 

[suse920]

it needs underglow and some nAwS

Amazing they can do that out of a 2L engine.

Mitsubishi and Kawasaki are the 2 I remember hearing making planes during WW2. I think Honda didn't make vehicles, until Post-WW2? I'm sure a rabid Honda fanboi will correct me if I'm wrong

Mitsubishi was the primary manufacturer of the Japanese Zero I believe.

 

[Linux23]

how much torque? 20, 30 lb/ft?

Slap an R-Type sticker on there, some flames, and maybe a fin or two, that baby will FLY.

Was thinking the same exact thing. The fin has to be completely over-sized and adjustable on the go though.

3.3 KM per Kilogram of Fuel Burned. Reports say it is 40% more efficiant thant other jets

I think the maket for this jet is not corporate but the economy market like Cessna. Think of it as the Honda Civic of Jet Aircraft it was built to be economical; A good value for the dollar and not Bently that goes fast far and comfortably. If they can produce these for around 250-750k per copy then Honda will have an Instant hit on their hands. In fact Honda has made a refrence to cessna in the making of this Jet.
