"Honda Aircraft recently debuted their first production HondaJet, and the over-the-wing aircraft design is anticipated to revolutionize the light jet market. The engines are also new and so is the company created specifically to build them. Honda Aero is the first new company approved to build jet engines in 23 years."
Yeah................Honda is building small biz jets. It is a unique but not the first to have the engines over the wing..That distinction goes to the VFW-Fokker 614.

I do like the Honda. Were I lucky enough to hit one of those great big lottery jackpots, this would be a possibility........................................
