Flight Tests for Hondajet Officially Begin

The first incarnation of the much-storied Hondajet flew for the first time under strict FAA regulations, meaning that the developers are one step closer to finishing the project they have been working on for some time now. The flight testing occurred at the Piedmont Triad International Airport which is located in Greensboro, North Carolina. After spending nearly an hour testing it out, its overall performance and characteristics were analyzed for further study. Michimasa Fujino who is the president and CEO of the Honda Aircraft division said that the tests were a very important part of what they are trying to do and a definite milestone.

There will also be several other aircrafts that will be introduced into the flight testing program by the summer of this year. Although the program suffered some major delays in developing the technology they hope to come out with very soon, they have said that they are currently back on track and in the process of come up with some very important and groundbreaking aviation technology. The turbofan engines for the GE Honda HF120 will soon be getting its official FAA certification, most likely sometime later this year.

The president of the program also said that the aircraft itself should meet all of the requirements for quality control standards as well as FAA stipulations in order to pass inspection. So far there have been no major problems reported with development of the new technology which will prove to be an innovative and important step in the right direction for the development of these types of aircrafts. There are already orders that have been filed for around 100 jets, each of which will cost over $4 million to construct.

While the technology that Honda is coming out with will certainly be expensive, it will also prove to make a very large difference in terms of what it will accomplish with regards to aviation and flight travel. Even though there was a jet market collapse in the beginning part of 2008, the company managed to make it through and got the funding they needed for developing this technology which is attracting the attention of many companies and individuals who are eager to see what they will look like and how they will function.

The flight testing which is currently going on at the Greensboro International Airport is almost done and there will no doubt be a collective sigh of relief among those who are working on the project when it is all over. The company has hinted that there are other plans waiting in the wings so to speak, suggesting that it will be likely that this jet model will certainly not be the last that Honda develops and tests. Fujino has goen so far as to say that they will be turning out a total of anywhere from thirty to forty aircrafts in the first six months of production alone, a truly impressive feat which some are skeptical about but the company seems confident in their own abilities.
