Honda Aircraft Company President and CEO Michimasa Fujino, shared, “Honda Aircraft Company’s most important goals are achieving Federal Aviation Administration Type Certification and delivering the first customer aircraft. Our total effort is focused on reaching these much anticipated milestones in the first quarter of 2015.”
The first production aircraft is currently in its final assembly, where the very first set of production GE Honda HF120 engines was delivered to Honda Aircraft not too long ago. With the delivered engines installed, ground tests on the airplane will be conducted soon, with its first flight touted to happen later this summer. Will the business people, royalty, tycoons and celebrities alike be in line for the HondaJet when it is commercially available? Only time will be able to tell. [Press Release]
