I wonder if they are using their i-VTEC techonology in it???
That's a joke, btw.
One thing to keep in mind, Honda is the LARGEST engine manufacturer in the world. Though nothing is for certain,my guess is that this plane will be wildly popular and efficient.
Now if only Honda could design their cars with a little more style and more low end torque....

Fujino said the patented wing-mounted engines were one of the keys to the jet's superior spped, fuel efficiency and cabin space. Could someone explain that to me? It appears from the video that the engines could have been located in the same spot relative to the fuselage with a conventional fuselage strut mount.

That's a very pretty little bird. The engine placement is one of those things that seems obvious after someone does it.

I wonder where they will manufacture them for sale in the US market?
Honda already has auto plants in Ohio, and Ohio has a solid foundation in the aviation business.
We could definitely use more industrial jobs here with GM, Delphi, and their union labor driving themselves out of business.
