SNIPPET: “BURLINGTON, N.C., U.S.A., November 28, 2007–Honda Aero, Inc., officially broke ground on its new corporate headquarters and state-of-the-art jet engine plant in Burlington, North Carolina, on property located adjacent to the Burlington-Alamance County regional airport.
Honda Aero also announced that it has successfully run a proof-of-concept version of the advanced and efficient GE Honda HF120 turbofan engine, and that the engine has exceeded the company’s internal development targets for both thrust performance and specific fuel consumption (SFP) on its first test run. The company is moving toward its goals of engine certification in 2009 followed by the start of mass production in late 2010.
“Today, we break new ground for Honda and our effort to enter the business of aviation,” said Satoshi Toshida, senior managing director of Honda Motor Co., Ltd. “The GE Honda Aero engines built here in North Carolina will power a new class of advanced light jets.””
