    Default HondaJet "Civic of the Sky"

    Honda is going to enter the jet planes business. Or at least that’s what one could think seeing that the company has unveiled a new ‘green’ jet prototype that uses advanced composite materials and other design tricks to achieve a 20% fuel efficiency compared to competitors. But that’s not all, HondaJet is also said to be quieter and able to fly faster than its rivals.

    This has been news for several years now. I walked through a prototype they had at NBAA a few months back. Unbelievably cheap plane to run!

    Never, they'll go hybrid on it and then people will do engine swaps from Lear jets!

    But there will be a limited run of vastly over priced Mugen special editions!

    I am surprised the exterior is not full white and the interior is all red.
