Honda
succeeded in the flight test of its small business jet yesterday. The test
model flew with the final specifications and final interior design, and data on
such items as maneuverability were collected. The company wishes to get a certification
from the U.S. in 2014. It already finished tests in the cold area and high-temperature
environment. Yesterday’s test was to confirm the maneuverability at low speed
and at high speed and the electronic system. The test was conducted in the U.S.
and the jet traveled at 556 km/h at an altitude of 3,660 m above the sea for 60
minutes without any trouble.
Honda’s
jet has about 18% bigger space inside the body than the competing models
because it has a jet engine on the main wing. In addition, it can travel at
about 10% higher speed with about 20% less fuel cost than competing models It
has seven seating capacity. The selling price is about 4,500,000 dollars. Now
it is the time to consider Honda not as an auto company but an engine company. Honda’s
engine technology develops fast and steadily.
