Nice item. However, this is certainly not the first time that engines are mounted directly above the wing. One aircraft that did it is the VFW-Fokker 614.
Here we have Honda ducks. It has cute face and looks agile. The cute face & agile don’t guarantee business success. If u don’t any thing, it becomes history. Just like neighbor ‘s new restaurant. “has comes and gone”.
Wake up!!!
“If u don’t any thing, it becomes history”
What is this? Fill in the blank?
if it doesnt have vtech i dont want it

Honda Jet was/is NOT the first plane to have the engines above the wings… nore is Michimasa Fujino the engineer who envisioned such a design. Look up “VFW 614”, “Antonov AN-71” and/or “Boeing C-14”. Kinda disappointed that this mistake came from CNBC.
@sdrawkcab96 The only plane that’s similar is the fokker 614, the Boeing C14 is not like the above concept. I don’t think the above concept has ever been tried out on a plane that small. I guess that’s where the innovation is.
+Ian Powell she definitely said “for the first time in aviation hostory”
+davidamaze , your taking the statement without the context of private jets
Business reporters always make technical mistakes like this. That doesn’t mean the engine configuration isn’t unique or notable.
Ian Powell Sure that’s what the video is about, but that is not relevant to the statement itself. It is correct to say CNBC was incorrect.
What they failed to mention is that the development and first Honda aircraft prototype was built and tested at Mississippi State University’s Raspet flight laboratory. I would think that would be an important piece to the story. A number of aircraft, including the first all composite aircraft were built there.
The idea comes from Japan but as far as engineering and technology is concerned its a US made aircraft period..
The US has by far the biggest and most versatile aerospace supplier infrastructure than the next 3 countries combined..
@lochwharral They totally said he was sent to Mississippi which is more than enough mention for the lowest ranking state in the Country for education college must be like middle school there!!!!
Congratulations the sky is the limit no wait how about space too !
Their should be millions of people living in space by now.
@joe biden People should all know the difference between “their” and “there” by now.
I can even spell that I configure how to live in space that’s what’s retarded.
What’s thine?
@***** Sadly, it went the way of “thee” and “thou” — replaced by adoption of the second-person plurals “ye,” “you,” and “your” as (improper) singulars, and then the second-person nominative plural “ye” was dropped in favor of the (incorrect in this use) second-person objective plural “you.”
In this day and age, “To thine own self be true. And it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man. Farewell, my blessing season this in thee!” has been replaced with, “Dude. Word.”
Okay.
They should just tell a little lie.
Buy a PC-12, much cheaper in operating costs!
@Ineke Mateman Don’t?…., then buy a Cessna Citation if you don’t like props!
They have a world of experience!
@Ineke Mateman The design of engines on the wings is stolen from the
VFW Fokker 614 and I don’t like the looks of it!
@Ineke Mateman Or a Beechcraft Hawker business jet, more room
for the Dollar!
Hello. I do not know if this has beensaid before, but the information given is wrong. Please check out this link where you can see a much older plane with the engines in the same configuration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MzvyH4bwtA
Steve Wynn is selling his Gulfstream 650 for HondaJet.
What an inspiration.
This is what Creflo Dollar should have gotten instead of a 65+million dollar personal jet.
+Tracey Smith Sort of makes you a little wary of some of those television pastors. My mother always told me, if you want to be rich, get into religion.
Creflo dollar should’ve gotten a bike.
Over-the-wing engines looks so funky and unusual, but if it’s more efficient who am I to judge.
Its a beautiful plane, just love the engines over the wings.Looks strange.
lol it looks like he has 3 eyebrows with those reading glasses
oh yea, i notice that xD
hahaha i literally lol’d because i thought it was his unibrow!
Yeah actually…. Lol
what impressive is its toy like appearance .very simple and cute look . exactly like Japanese people 🙂
00:07 Jackie Chan ?
Sorry Honda, Those engines on the wings are sooooooooooooooooo ugly ! It also blocks the view from the cabin !
Interesting jet but as jets go, it is very slow. A cruising speed of only 300 mph in this day and age? In sharp contrast, the Cessna Citation X cruises at 604 mph. It cuts travel time in half.
Come on. Praise the Rookie here. And it’s Honda. Not even a nuclear bomb can take them down.
itsmegp46 I think you missed the point of this project completely. You are comparing apples to oranges. Watch the video again, then lets compare apples to apples. The market the Honda jet is in is called the VLJ or very light jet market. It’s competitors are not the citation X but the smaller citations and other jets in this market. So direct comparison to say a citation 550 or XLS would be more correct. And it is this market that the Honda jet shines.
So yes if you need to haul 12 people 2.5k miles and you have the extra, rather major extra bucks to spend then yes the X is for you. If however your average trip is 1-3 people, and within say 200-600 miles then the Honda comes out on top every time. In this distance the speed difference really doesn’t come into the equation. A typical trip of say KBOS to KDCA so much of the trip will be speed restricted for flow control that the speed advantage is negated. And when you do get on the ground and get the fuel bill, well let’s just say you can spend a few extra grand going somewhere else in your shiny new plane.
??? I watched the video and it says top cruising speed of the Honda jet is 420 knots which is 483 MPH. Where do you get your 300 mph figure?
itsmegp46 it travels at 422 ktas (485 mph)
itsmegp46 $22 million VS $4.5 million. Yeah, exactly the same thing.
Affordable toy.
Its better to save and invest on a jet than a house these days atleast we can fly with wings that we own and that can shelter us too before we die 😉
VTEC just kicked in yo!!
I own1
breakthrough? Engines had been mounted to wings probably at least 60-70 years ago. At least.
V-TEC in the air!!
great airplane hondajet
Flying rice!!
His glasses give him a tri-brow.
Bombadier please take notes
The HondaJet is an interesting looking airplane and is made from modern aerospace materials. But, why has the schedule constantly slipped? It has just recently obtained a type certification after all these years. I even read that some of Honda Aircraft test pilots don’t have technical or engineering degrees. That doesn’t make me feel good about it meeting all the certification requirements. I hope they succeed.
Price ?
Where’s the kick starter?
German aircraft company VFW-Fokker manufactured the VFW 614 in the early to mid 1970’s and it used this wing-mounted engine design.
KingCarlofcarlWorld .
Japanese would always say they were the first, but in fact they were imitators.
There were American planes also (older high mounted above wing propeller planes like that). I forget the make and model, but they were in the 1960s/1970s. I think they were amphibious landing planes (like in Florida/Alaska, etc.).
Honda makes some wonderful products but they have a tendency to steal design ideas from other companies. In Fact the Japanese have always been good at stealing design and engineering from the Western world.they stole the design of the engine on this point.
+Speedbird Nine up yours buddy!
so honda stole asimo from who then? this engine was made in partnership with GE Aviation. and you should realise the west took inventions from china and the middle east thousands of years ago.
THIS HONDA JET IS THE CATS ASS I WANT ONE PLEASE?

airplane industry suffers or differs from auto industry that productions are not on linear assembly efficiency. Assembly approaches are slowed and hindered by a traditional house building like cumbersome stands and absence of efficient orderly mechanization tooling system.
27 Dislikes from Toyota fans.
Gulfwing and Cessna too… 😂
i bet toyota cant do that,honda for life
Well, its Honda’s nature to bring hell in the competitions. And Toyota know that.
Calling it a business jet is reaching…. Business jets tend to be a little bigger. I would call this a multi millionaire’s air worthy SUV.
Don’t get me wrong. I think the Honda Jet is well worth the money. If I had the coin I would buy one. Honda Jet has survived where others have withered and died.
…and I’m just trying to PAY OFF my Ford 150.
Been there, done that, too.
Good luck because it’s an over saturated market and very few people can even afford a jet like that
?”who is this “me to much food you know
Make a longer version, bring it up to 7000 km range, so it can hop from Tokyo to Los Angeles with refueling in Hawaii, and you’ll rule the business jet industry.
Embraer Lineage already does that. 4600nm range (little over 8500 km).
1180 nm
So what’s next? Ford’s gonna build their own plane?
They already did. The Ford Trimotor started production in 1925.
1926…HAHAHA
*******
At 4:25, Fujino says the mounting of the engines above the wing is a technological breakthrough. However, Fokker proposed it in 1961, went ahead with the idea in 1968 and flew passenger jets in 1971.

HONDA EXCELENCIA EN TECNOLOGÍA.
Saludos desde Campeche., México.
it looks kiddy with the colors
6:48 land-air-water > honda should consider changing its logo to mercedes tri-star
LOL
drug lords will love it
So much to admire in these brilliant young men.
Michimasa Fujino has been working on this for 29 years. Not exactly a spring chicken by the time his dream comes to fruition haha
Is that a bad thing?
Not at all. Just an observation. Hard work , long nights and now here it is. Always nice to see how the product today came from just a sketch on the back of a poster.
Right. Completely agree.
It was Soichiro Honda’s dream to build aircrafts. Well done Honda. I don’t really like new Honda design on cars but this aircraft is beautiful.
dont agree. Honda and Accura have always been the finest Japanese car designs. Although, Toyota engines kick all asses.
and I think this plane just shows how magnificent Honda and Japanese designs are
another beautiful thing. humans overwhelmings in good. much more then bad…otherwise we would not be here anymore. 💗👣👍👏👏👏
Make in Honda.
Whatever happen to this jet? Is it in production?
Honda’s reputation in quality has rapidly tarnishing in the automotive sector because their poor quality was soon followed by repeated horrible customer service experience with their automobiles. Now they are making jets? No thanks Honda. At one 1/2 the price of a Gulfstream, I would definitely pay twice the asking price of a Honda Jet which comes without a good safety track record (no experience). Add the fact Honda has a 2/5 star rating with its automotive customers and you can clearly predict Honda’s attempt at the private jet manufacturing sector is doomed to fail. Sorry Honda, fix your reputation with your automotive customers first and then try to sell your jets. Good luck. I will be shorting your stock soon. lol
I wonder how difficult it is to operate the clutch and the rudder pedals simultaneously.
Fokker 614
Gimme
Session settle ethnic awqcyy excuse version explore therapist vacation invite.
I didn’t even know Honda made jets until I saw the one that slid off the runway in Philly on the evening news
Embraer Phenom, Cessna Citation and so on… This guy wants to fight in a very strict market with powerful rivals. Hope he succeed.
Stop showing me this and and put me in aircraft
What ever happened to Honda’s Jet Aircraft.
Gulfstream the top jet of the ellite stays behind demand there’s defiantly a market for a more econo and affordable jet for the not so rich.
Not quite dude, Global Express 7500 has a better range, 7700 only 7000 for G650. Its ( global ) Canin is 2 meters longer with a private bedroom, a standup shower and a conference room. All missing in your G650. And FYI it’s also more expensive. G650 program is officially outdated in comparison
Video is black ….. ????
Why didn’t she fly the Honda jet wtf lol
❤️❤️❤️
E
great
Dire Straits – Industrial Disease. ‘They’re gonna have a war to stop the spying Japanese’
Those aren’t for reading. They are for seeing into the future.
Nice vehicle.
480 resolution…nice and fuzzy picture…thanks Honda…
Anyone watching it in 2k18
Still remained humble after all his achievements…what a man ! Definitely a product of GREAT parenting…May God continue his mercy and protection over you Fujino Michimasa…
Dear God help me too.
I wish I could buy it
Does this one have micro fuel tanks?
