Honda Aircraft Company is steadily ramping up production of its HondaJet to meet demand, and is currently manufacturing the aircraft at a rate of about four per month at its headquarters in Greensboro in the US.
Honda Aircraft delivered 24 HondaJets during the first six months of 2017, making it the most-delivered jet in its category for the first half of 2017, the company said, quoting statistics from the General Aviation Manufacturers Association.
The jets were delivered to customers in the US, Canada, Mexico, and countries in Europe.
“Our customers are extremely pleased with the performance, comfort and superior fit and finish of the HondaJet. The HondaJet is very high tech, sporty aircraft and it is like a flying, high precision sports car,” said Honda Aircraft President and CEO Michimasa Fujino. “We want to create new value in business aviation and I hope to see many more HondaJets flying all over the world.”
The HondaJet is one of the world’s most advanced light jets, and its distinctive design incorporates advanced technologies and concepts including an Over-The-Wing Engine Mount (OTWEM) configuration.
Honda Aircraft says the jet is the fastest, highest-flying, quietest, most fuel-efficient, and most comfortable business jet in its class, and has gained greater acceptance in the market, especially by corporate executives, business owners, corporate flight departments, charter companies, and aviation enthusiasts.
